How Many Groceries Can Your Child Write?

One simple way to provide reading and writing practice is to have your child write your grocery list for you. Say the names of the items you need. Give your child a chance to try writing the words correctly before you help.

Then, when you bring the groceries home from the store, can your elementary schooler find the products that match the items on your list? Now how many can your child spell?

This practice not only builds literacy skills, it lets your child feel competent every time you ask for help making a list you can take to the store.
