From your Hostess:

This past week I introduced you all to The PLAY Group -

a fab group of parents & educators just like YOU that are dedicated to sharing hands-on and fun play and learning activities.

I shared 50+ Early Literacy Activities compiled from the 11 members of The Play Group. The post covers alphabet and letter sound ideas, phonics and sight words, reading strategies and writing activities. It's definitely a resource you will not want to miss.

Thank You for sharing your child centered ideas with us!
