READINGTECHNOLOGY
Technology has become a major part of our lives If used irresponsibly technology can
be dangerous However when used correctly technology can actually be a valuable
tool in improving your childrsquos literacy The possibilities are almost endless and can be
overwhelming so here are a few suggestions to make it easier
Educational Videos
There is a plethora of videos online that are both entertaining and educational You can find these both for free on websites like YouTube or for a couple dollars an episode on sites such as Amazon This is great because online videos unlike television can be watched on demand and watched on portable devices thus giving you more flexibility as far as when where and how much your child watches videos
E-books
E-books also have the benefit of giving you more flexibility They can be downloaded on multiple devices and you can conveniently take an entire library of books on a trip Even better they are normally cheaper than physical books On the Kindle store yoursquoll find many books available for only $1

Study Help
There are several apps and websites that can be used to help your child study For example Quizlet is a website and app that many teachers use to help students study for vocabulary and math tests Quizlet makes it easy to make flashcards as well as take practice tests Another app Sight Words - Dolch is great for parents with young children who are learning their sight words The right resources for helping your kiddo study are literally just a few clicks away
Reading Games
Parents know that itrsquos not difficult for a kid to waste time on a popular computer game However it doesnrsquot have to be a waste Many games made for children have an educational spin For instance Red Apple Reading is not only fun but also has the added benefit of giving your child a boost in reading Take a look through the games available and find a balance of fun and learning that works for you and your child
Parents understand that technology can be a double edged sword While we do need to monitor our kidrsquos use of electronics we donrsquot need to be afraid of technology There are many technological resources available that can serve as excellent supplements to our childrenrsquos education Take some time today to peruse some of the resources available to help your kiddo with her reading

5 WAYS TO DEVELOP THANKFULNESS IN
CHILDREN
MODEL THANKFULNESS
Your children look up to you Make sure you set a good example by expressing thankfulness whenever you get the chance Believe it or not they really are watching
VOLUNTEER
Sometimes kids need a concrete example of how blessed they are Take some time to volunteer at a soup kitchen or shelter Not only will you be helping others but your children will benefit from the experience
DONrsquoT GIVE HIM EVERYTHING HE WANTS
Therersquos nothing wrong with treating your kiddo every once in a while but an entitled child is not a thankful child Hersquoll be more grateful for what he has if hersquos not accustomed to having everything he asks for
TEACH YOUR CHILD ABOUT THE LESS FORTUNATE
Typically even the most poor among us in America are richer than a big part of the world Young childrenrsquos worlds are very small so itrsquos important to teach your little one about cultures that have very little
W W W R E D A P P L E R E A D I N G C O M
LET HER VERBALIZE HER THANKS
Make sure you give your child opportunities to express her thankfulness Encourage her to say thank you Once a week during dinner have each family member tell one thing for which they are thankful

Kitchen Clues
LITERACY TIMEhellip WITH FOOD
As you cook any meal at home encourage your
child to help and play with food in the kitchen Send
your child on a scavenger hunt for ingredients You
might say something like ldquoIrsquom thinking of a food
that begins with N When I cook the food it becomes
slippery What is itrdquo (Noodles) If your child does
not answer right away give more clues about the
shape size or color of the item or where the item
is located in your kitchen (ie refrigerator pantry)
Package Hunt
As you grocery shop or when you are putting away
groceries encourage your child to help sort items
and read labels Ask your child to find a certain
letter on a can of soup or a box of cereal Then ask
what kind of package it is (ie box can bag) and
ask your child to identify the beginning sound of
that word or a rhyme for the word Sing a song
about putting away groceries Or sing a song
about food words that begin with a certain letter
46
W W W R E D A P P L E R E A D I N G C O M
During snack time or while making a new recipe
play a silly syllable snack game with your child
Make up silly names for new snacks If you are
having cheese and crackers you might call them
Super Snacker Sandwiches If you are having
apple slices and peanut butter you might call
them Dippy Dippers After you create the name
with your child ask him or her to clap out how
many syllables there are in each word

compound food words like hot dog hamburger

5 WAYS TO DEVELOP THANKFULNESS IN
CHILDREN
MODEL THANKFULNESS
Your children look up to you Make sure you set a good example by expressing thankfulness whenever you get the chance Believe it or not they really are watching
VOLUNTEER
Sometimes kids need a concrete example of how blessed they are Take some time to volunteer at a soup kitchen or shelter Not only will you be helping others but your children will benefit from the experience
DONrsquoT GIVE HIM EVERYTHING HE WANTS
Therersquos nothing wrong with treating your kiddo every once in a while but an entitled child is not a thankful child Hersquoll be more grateful for what he has if hersquos not accustomed to having everything he asks for
TEACH YOUR CHILD ABOUT THE LESS FORTUNATE
Typically even the most poor among us in America are richer than a big part of the world Young childrenrsquos worlds are very small so itrsquos important to teach your little one about cultures that have very little
W W W R E D A P P L E R E A D I N G C O M
LET HER VERBALIZE HER THANKS
Make sure you give your child opportunities to express her thankfulness Encourage her to say thank you Once a week during dinner have each family member tell one thing for which they are thankful

5 WAYS TO DEVELOP THANKFULNESS IN
CHILDREN
MODEL THANKFULNESS
Your children look up to you Make sure you set a good example by expressing thankfulness whenever you get the chance Believe it or not they really are watching
VOLUNTEER
Sometimes kids need a concrete example of how blessed they are Take some time to volunteer at a soup kitchen or shelter Not only will you be helping others but your children will benefit from the experience
DONrsquoT GIVE HIM EVERYTHING HE WANTS
Therersquos nothing wrong with treating your kiddo every once in a while but an entitled child is not a thankful child Hersquoll be more grateful for what he has if hersquos not accustomed to having everything he asks for
TEACH YOUR CHILD ABOUT THE LESS FORTUNATE
Typically even the most poor among us in America are richer than a big part of the world Young childrenrsquos worlds are very small so itrsquos important to teach your little one about cultures that have very little
W W W R E D A P P L E R E A D I N G C O M
LET HER VERBALIZE HER THANKS
Make sure you give your child opportunities to express her thankfulness Encourage her to say thank you Once a week during dinner have each family member tell one thing for which they are thankful
