4 Ways to Multiply Your Teaching Effectiveness

4 Things Families Can Do BEFORE Kindergarten Starts:

Memorize Mother Goose rhymes (Booklet of 16 rhymes FREE on Nellie Edge TpT Store). Print copies of your favorites to share with families.
Rhymers are readers! –Marie Clay
Teach the ABC Phonics: Sing, Sign, and Read! song. Introduce children to the FREE ASL video clips and Family Reference Chart. During Kindergarten Round-Up, teach parents and children the first 4 letters together. Challenge families to teach their children this entire ABC Phonics song with accurate fingerspelling before kindergarten starts. (Some children will have already learned it in preschool.) Learn more about ABC Phonics.
Help each child learn to print his or her name and hold a pencil efficiently. Teach parents how to be partners in kindergarten-friendly handwriting, drawing, and writing.
Read wonderful books together every day—visit the library often and establish nightly reading traditions: Our Family Guide to Reading will make a Difference!
