Guide for Parents

Here are some activities that you can be doing at home every day to ensure your child's skills are maintained.
  • Read to your child every day. Ask them to tell you about the story, ask them their favourite part and why.
  • Have your child present PAT items every day.
  • JK: practice writing your first name.
  • SK: practice writing your first and last names.
  • Keep writing in the journals we sent home.
  • Practice counting toys and items around the house.  This develops one-to-one correspondence, each item is counted once.
  • Play board games with dice as this develops subitizing skills, the ability to recognize quantities without counting.
  • Ask your child to estimate how many objects they have, for example "how many grapes do you have left?"
  • Practice adding and subtracting with their toys, "I have 5 cars and you have 3 cars. How many cars do we have altogether?"
  • Set up an art corner for your child to draw pictures, paint, create chalk pictures, tape paper to a wall and create a mural.
  • Learn at home resources are available at https:\\www.ontario.ca/page/learn-at-home.
