sizes, shapes, and textures. Provide objects that can be carried,
pushed, thrown, dropped and rearranged. |

to him, help him learn concepts of first, second, next, middle, last,

MOVING: Help your child learn control of large muscle activity,
later - small or fine muscle control. |
READING: Make printed matter a part of your child's world.
Have books, magazines, and newspapers in the home. Let your child
know that printed material is "printed talk" - words that
someone has said, written down. Take your child to the Library. Let
him check out his own books. Read yourself!!! If your child sees you
reading, he will see it a useful skill. Read to your child daily. |
