Back to School Checklist
Notebooks; check. Books; check. Pencils and crayons; check. Book bag; check.
It’s that time of year again; back to school! All of us here at KD Novelties love the back to school season. While your child is surely all geared up with fun supplies and settling into his or her new classroom, be sure they are enjoying their new routine too. Whether the child in your life is a preschooler who just started school for the first time, moved up a grade or even entered a new school this year, an encouraging book could really help ease the transition for both parents and students.
Here are a few other ideas to keep the school year FUN…
- Create a calendar so the child in your life can mark down each day of school and any countdown to any fun projects or open house coming up
- Let your child plan their super cool outfit for school each night
- Talk about all the fun activities they will be doing in class such as art projects, classroom pets they might have or interesting books they might be reading
We hope you and your student are having a great school year so far!
Summer Reading
Now that the summer is here it is important to keep your kids reading books at all times. The following are tips to keep your kids reading during their summer break.
- Go to your local library and get a reading list of books to read over the summer. Enroll your children in storytelling time, youth clubs and/or book clubs. The libraries have lots of educational activities for the children. Make sure to get a library card for your child and have them pick and check out their own books!
- Look for garage sales and give your child a dollar so that they can buy their own book!
- Swap books with friends and family so that they will have different books to read.
- Record yourself reading a book to your child and make sure to read with emphasis and character. Then have them replay your recording with the book in their hands another day. This will sure get them to sit down and listen to the story on their own.
- You can also record your child reading a book and replay it when they have become better readers so that they can listen to themselves improve.
- Help your child make his or her own storybook. Make funny drawings, or glue photos of family members onto construction paper. Let them get creative with the colors and photos. You can then can staple it on the sides and punch holes and put either yarn or ribbon to make it look nice.
- Purchase a personalized book with their name and/or photo in the storyline. This will sure be a big hit with the kids and will interest them in reading it every day!
