  • Help your child focus on sound patterns of words such as those found in rhyming games
  • Have your child retell stories and talk about events of the day
  •  Talk with your child about the sequence of events happening  in their day (e.g, First- we will have breakfast, then we will get dressed, last we will go to the park)
  • Give directions for your child to follow (e.g., making cookies)
  • Talk about how things are alike and different
  • Ask your child to "predict" what might happen next during a game
  • Play "I spy" using descriptive words (e.g., colors, size, shape)
