Weekly Story Time Guide

Pick 3–5 age-appropriate books for the week. After each story, ask one simple question — "What was your favorite part?" or "What do you think happens next?" — to turn reading into a little conversation instead of just a page-turn.

Build-a-Story Cards

Write down a character, a place, and an object on separate slips of paper (or draw them). Have your child pick one of each at random, then invent a short story using all three. Great for car rides or waiting rooms — no materials required once the cards are made.

Vocabulary Word of the Week

Pick one fun new word each week, explain what it means in simple terms, and challenge your child to use it three times that day — at dinner, on a call with a relative, or in a sentence about their day.

Shape & Color Matching

Cut out simple paper shapes in different colors. Ask your child to match each shape to its name, then to objects around the house that share the same shape or color. A simple, screen-free way to reinforce early vocabulary.

Pattern Practice

Using blocks, crayons, or drawn symbols, create a simple repeating pattern (🔴🔵🔴🔵___) and ask your child to guess and continue it. Start with simple AB patterns and work up to ABC patterns as they get the hang of it.

Counting Practice

Use everyday objects — buttons, coins, snacks — to practice counting, simple addition, and simple subtraction. "You have 3 crackers, I'm giving you 2 more, how many now?" turns snack time into quick mental math practice.

Weekly Review Checklist

At the end of each week, jot down which skills your child practiced — letters, numbers, a new word, a story they loved. It doesn't need to be fancy; a simple running list helps you spot progress and plan what to focus on next.
