Building Literacy Skills Every Day
You and your child do lots of things together every day. Sometimes routines like riding in the car, going to the doctor’s office and grocery shopping can seem unexciting.

Talk to her about what you are doing using simple language like “Watching baby, watching baby, washing dishes, watching baby!”
