EARLY LITERACY ASIDE: When reading with your child, run your finger under the words or phrases as you read. This helps them understand that you're reading the text and not the pictures.
Next was a drawing story using an upper-case E, a lower-case e, an M and two Ws. Connect the letters and you have a pig!
EARLY LITERACY ASIDE: Writing and practicing making letters supports your child's awareness of print. Also writing - including scribbling - helps develop letter and print awareness.

******************************
I did a few things differently this time.... I figured we'd have another large group and we did: 62 toddlers and 49 adults. Before the program, I placed CAUTION tape on the floor so that the kids and adults would not get too close. I also did the opening song first before making my announcements/expectations, which helped a lot. This went much better than last week, but I still need to do more activities that are more participatory.
