Kid Zone: The Literacy Playground for Kids & Families (National Center on Improving Literacy, NCIL)

Description:

The Kid Zone: The Literacy Playground for Kids & Families is a place where you can participate as your child builds literacy skills in a fun and interactive way. You can:

  • Listen - Note which sounds, letters, and words seem hard for your child and what he or she sounds like when reading aloud.
  • Look - Watch for the skills or tasks that appear difficult for your child. See if they improve with practice.
  • Help - Pause and give your child a chance to correct a mistake. Then try giving him or her a hint or prompt to figure it out.
  • Encourage -Talk with your child about the book or game experience. Offer praise when successful and reassure him or her when difficulties arise.
