Make & Learn

Welcome to Make & Learn! Help prepare your child for kindergarten with activities that focus on early literacy skills you can make and play at home.

In this video, Miss Sara shares how to make story stones – a fun activity that uses the early literacy practice of talk to support vocabulary and narrative skill development. These skills help a child practice and understand language and how we use it to tell stories and communicate, which in turn helps them get ready to read!
