I do it.
Asking the boys to put together instructions for taking care of our dog is a fun way for them to practice reading and writing.
And it also reminds them about the responsibilities of owning a pet.
They work together and write down what our dog needs while we are away.
I'll remind them of a step, if they've forgotten something about Gracie Belle's routine.
What's our first thing we should do for Gracie?
- [Child] Put water in the bowl.
- [Mom] Put water in a bowl.
Why don't you write that?
It's a fundamental way in which children learn to organize ideas and learning to write well helps kids become better readers.
Should she go play with Emmy?
- [Children] Yes.
- [Mom] Go play with a friend?
When the boys see me making lists or leaving notes it allows them to see reading and writing used in everyday life.
Having the boys make a to-do list for Gracie-Belle also helps me get ready for vacation.
