How it works:
We will be doing a variety of home reading programs in Kindergarten but the one posted here can be done by everyone. Each week or so we will post a new Nursery Rhyme. With that rhyme we will suggest activities that you can do with your child or you can also look at previous activities and redo them with new rhymes. You can choose whether you would like to print off the rhyme or just look at it together on the computer.
When you are reading with your child make sure to point at each word.
