  • Play guessing games with letters. "I spy something that rhymes with at"
  • Write letters to your family, friends or your new teacher. Continue to sound out each word.
  • Play board games that use dice. Play the game with 2 dice to make it more challenging.

  • Continue counting and making sets with things you find around your house. How many forks and spoons do you have?
