Suggested Family Activity 🪄 Magic Wand Reading Pointer
To help young children learn how to follow along when they are reading a story, let them make magic wand reading pointers today. To begin, you will need something to be the handle of the wand, such as a small dowel rod, a chopstick, a wooden skewer, or even a pencil or stick from outside. For very young children, you can use a popsicle stick or craft stick to give them something wider to hold. Next, get out your pom poms, stickers, feathers – anything they can glue to one end of their stick. After it is completed, let them use it to follow along with the words while you are reading a story to them. Or you can ask questions about the text while you are reading, such as “Can you find the red hat?” and let them point to the answer.
