Ready to Read Skill- Sounds (Phonological Awareness)

Have your child stomp her feet and yell "Boom!" each time you point to the words "Boom, Boom, Boom" in Tyson the Terrible.


Rhyming books like Snappy Little Dinosaurs help to develop awareness of similar sounds.


Sing songs with lots of different sounds that your child can make. If You're A Dino and You Know It gives children many different sounds to play with.
