Jan. Lang. Theme CAP Looking L to R

January's Language Theme is Concepts about Print, Looking left to right. This is introducing children to print and our conventions of print. Until a child is asked to read they can look at the world in any way or order. Then we introduce this concept of reading that includes looking at print from left to right. Many children pick up the conventions of reading just by being read to and some very simple quick activities. This month we will be focusing on introducing looking. This does NOT mean that I expect Angel Girl to understand this concept and I am sure that these activities will be repeated many different times and combined with lots of story reading in our home. The activities shared this month are great ways to introduce looking at print although many of them do not even ask the child to look at words but rather to get use to organized looking.
