June Support Suggestions

Academic Themes

• Talk about Spring and New Life
• Review letters and their sounds
• Go over sight words covered to date
• Continue writing last names -always start at the top down, not bottom up
• Discuss stories we have read - have them retell the story to you - who the story is about, what happened and where
• Practice addition/subtraction - facts thru 6 - use small objects to help them group these facts (2+2=4, 2 pretzels + 2 pretzels = 4)
• Continue working on writing the numbers 0 to 10 - and matching to equal sets
• Help your child learn his address and phone number, and to tie his shoes himself
