Reading on the Road

  • Have your child help you plan the trip. Write a list of the cities you plan to visit and find them on the map.

  • Encourage your child to read the street signs.

  • Brainstorm words that rhyme with the cities or roads.

  • Find all the towns that begin with a certain letter.

  • Find the towns that have the short “a” sound as in apple.

  • Help your child keep a travel journal. Have them answer questions in the journal. (i.e. What was your favorite place that we visited? What things did you learn about on the trip?)
