One Simple Thing you can today to boost reading skills in your reading skills in your baby is to blow bubbles with your baby. How does this help with future reading skills, you may ask? Well, while blowing bubbles, use many descriptive words to help your little one build his or her vocabulary. Explain how the bubbles are round, shiny, light, etc. Recipes for homemade bubbles can be found here. The ones with glycerin (typically available at any pharmacy) produce the most "store-like" bubbles, but the recipes containing sugar or corn syrup work well too!
One Simple Thing you can do with your toddler or preschooler today is to make bubble pictures! Add a dishwashing liquid such as Joy to a large bowl filled with warm water. Teach your child how to blow into the water to create bubbles (make sure they blow into the water, rather than swallowing the soapy water). Once you have a bowl full of bubbles, add liquid food coloring to the surface of the bubbles. Now, take lightly colored paper of an kind and press lightly on the bubbles. Discuss the beautiful bubble pattern this creates, as well as the colors you are using. The more vocabulary you use during this activity, the better! Science + Language = Fun!!
