Every Day Literacy for Kids

A diary in my own writing, not a font.

All through a normal day we are literate--increasingly. Little people learn to recognize labels, schedules, names, directions; little people learn to label things, express fun, express needs, communicate feelings and ideas. Little people learn to receive ideas in writing, read about feelings, and understand directions from their world in writing. Bigger kids express increasingly complex ideas and feelings.

And there are many sources to enhance the experience.

Listing family chores; for the bossy kid.

 

 

 You can ask your little person to help record dates, label items, remember activities, and obtain information for the family.

You can have a joke writer in the family, an historian, a playwrite. How fun. 

This doesn't seem too teachery for parents does it?
