Head Start Homework

This Week

Use these activities to learn with your child every day!

Language & Literacy

Our Word Wall

  1. Choose a place in your home where you can display a collection of words with your child or children; make sure this place is accessible at eye level for everyone, like a blank wall in a hallway or on the refrigerator.
  2. When you're reading with your child, ask if they know the definition of some of the trickier words in the book. If they don't know, see if they can figure out the meaning by thinking about the context of the word in the sentence, or by looking at the picture. If they can't figure it out on their own, explain the meaning of the word.
  3. Write down new words on a sticky note or index card (or help your child write the word). Post it to your word wall.
  4. Keep adding new words to the wall. When you have a bunch of words, read the words out loud for your child and help your child group the words into different categories.
