Back To School Tips with Super Why (+BTS Giveaway #19)

This post is a 'Back To School 2010 Carnival' feature on Energizer Bunny's Mommy Reports.

The Carnival runs from August 15-August 28 2010. For a list of all the live giveaways visit 'The BTS 2010 Stop!'


Starting the school year can be a time of great excitement... and anxiety. Here are some great
tips from the Super WHY literacy experts to help get your child ready for the big day while
practicing important early reading skills:

• Visit the library or bookstore: Find books that start a dialogue about school to help get young children feeling comfortable and confident about new experience. Read the books together and identify key words.
• Practice going to school: Point out places that are familiar to your child on the way to school and encourage them to read or find letters on the signs as you pass – even their school sign!
• Tool up: While shopping for school supplies, read the list out loud and have kids spell out words like: pencil or paper.
• Create a cozy study space with your child: Before the school year even starts, set up an area together that is comfortable and quiet. This can also be a place to spend quality time reading
