Activities to Help Your
Child Learn
Keep your child's reading and math skills
sharp this summer by including them in your household planning and
shopping trips. Here are some ideas to get you started:
-- Before a shopping trip, have your child
read newspaper ads and price the items to be purchased. Encourage
comparison of prices and quantities marked on containers to determine
the best buys. Allow your child to purchase one item and figure
out the change to be received.
--Go to the hardware store and pick up household items you need.
Let your child write the list, search them out in the store, pay for
them, and help you use them at home.
--Have your child total the family bills as you write the checks.
--While shopping for food, let your child round off prices to the
nearest dollar and see how close they are when you check out at the
register.
