In 4-K Dr. Seuss’s birthday is always a big event and this year was no exception. We had a blast tasting green eggs and ham, wearing silly socks and wacky hats, watching a movie, and reading many of Dr. Seuss’s silly books! We made a book graph in the playroom using our favorite Dr. Seuss books and made red and white striped hats just like the Cat in the Hat wore. Students loved listening to the tongue twisters so often found in Dr. Seuss’s stories. We had the opportunity to focus on words that rhyme. What a fun way to celebrate the importance of reading!
Looking for more to do at home? Encourage your child to make rhymes whenever possible. Play around with sounds by singing silly songs like The Name Game, or Down By the Bay. Challenge your preschooler to make up his or her own verses to add on. Remember, sounds are the building blocks for reading. The more you play the more your child will learn!
