We Love Reading Street Signs Sidewalk Signals

Street signs are fun to read! Environmental print is everywhere. Reading with our children boosts literacy and helps early childhood development. This collection of photographs explores sidewalks and some of the information that is found there. We love to play "We See" games with our photos -These can easily incorporate aspects of literacy, mathematics, and situational awareness. This environmental print photo book has 30 unique pictures of signs.The images in this book are meant to inspire discussion, spark an interest, and build a foundation of knowledge for new readers that will serve them for the rest of their lives. A few basic questions can lead to hours of happy discussion about intention, danger, safety, and interpretation.We like to ask our toddler simple things like, "What colors do you see?", "What is that word?", "Can you say those letters?", "What shape is that?", "Can you count all of the ...(windows, birds, cars, trees... etc.)?", "What number do you see?" This type of learning is easy and very effective. Soft and simple repetition of the basics helps us to remember what we need to know. Keeping our lessons fun makes us want to repeat the exercises.We learn from what we see and we see letters & numbers everywhere. Environmental print is everyplace and it's a special aid for everything from finding 100% whole wheat bread to navigating cross-country road trips! Interpreting the language we see all around us is important for anyone who wants to accomplish anything.Please, visit our FREE blog for new photographs every day of the week and sample our simple "Discussion Starter" questions at: streetsignsforkids.blogspot.comAnd, don't miss out on our special weekly celebration, "NEON Fridays!"#earlyliteracy
