A Delicious Literacy Tip

Turn meal or snack time into a literacy activity! Food such as mashed potatoes, pudding, or applesauce make for a great medium to draw letters and shapes in.

Explore the sounds of the letter "R" with raspberries, raisins, radishes, ravioli, rye bread, or even ranch dressing.
