What S for Breakfast

What’s for Breakfast?

An Environmental Print Class Project

Your child can have fun learning to read even when books are not available. “Environmental Print” is the print that is around him/her every day. It’s the words your child sees on street signs, signs on buildings, the store shelves, while in the check out line, or anywhere there are words.

Many children see cereal boxes every day. They can be a

good way to develop the desire to learn to read because

they are colorful, interesting and inviting to young readers.

Here are some activities your child can do with our class collection of cereal boxes:

- read each class member’s name

- read each cereal name

- use the picture clues to figure out words

- do a word search with the word cards

- answer the questions about our class favorites

Your child may keep What’s for Breakfast? for one night

then should return it to school the next day. Once all the children have had their turn we will make it available to

take home again as a Buddy Book.

We hope your child enjoys reading our class book!

Mrs. Jones

Your child can use these cards to look for and match words

on the cereal boxes. Please put the cards back in the pocket before returning our book so the next child in our class can use them. Thanks!
