Research has shown that repetition is essential for the brain to learn and recall information. The engaging activities and puzzles in this book will provide your child with repeated practice of grade-level-appropriate academic vocabulary and language skills. Becoming fluent, or automatic, with these skills helps enrich vocabulary, enhance reading fluency, and build a strong foundation in reading comprehension, an important skill for academic success.

Upon your child’s completion of each activity, use the provided incentive chart with stickers to track progress and celebrate your child’s success.
