Speaking/Listening
Before you can read, you must hear language and learn to speak it yourself. Use these cards to have conversations about things that your children are interested in all while building their vocabulary. These materials support language growth and vocabulary enrichment. Choose from:
- Vocabulary Cards for naming lessons
- Matching cards for hand-eye coordination and hands-on learning practice with new vocabulary
- Fine Art Display Cards for inspiring expressive language and art appreciation
- Geography Cards for sharing an equitable view of cultural diversity and inspiring expressive language
You can read all the details in our blog post on Pre-Reading Activities.
