Pre-K Reading & Writing · World 8: Writing Table · Level 48
Why We Write
Know what writing is for: lists, cards, signs, and notes.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. 10 minutes or less.
For grown-ups
Your child learns what writing is for: lists, cards, letters, signs, and labels. Let them see you write, and invite them to add to your lists and cards. We suggest reading it together.
What children learn in Level 48
- We write for lots of reasons! We write a list to remember what to buy at the store.
- We write a card to say happy birthday, or I love you.
- We write a letter to tell someone far away our news, and mail it.
- Signs and labels tell everyone something: Lemonade for sale! These are Mia's things!
- Try it with a grown-up! Make a list together before you go shopping. You can draw the pictures, and your grown-up can write the words.
