ALPHABERT THE READY TO READ ROBOT™ ACTIVITIES ACTIVITY 9 - WORD GROUPS (continued) How Can You Help? • When you go grocery shopping, have your child categorize the items that you have bought. Are there fruits, vegetables, drinks, and meats? • When playing with this activity, encourage your child to tell you what the two objects that go together have in common. Then ask your child to tell you a third object that could also belong with the group. • Have your child choose a category that he or she is interested in. Have him or her look for or draw pictures of objects that would be related to that particular category. Your child may wish to label the pictures once he or she has drawn or cut them out. The pictures could all be glued on a large piece of paper. Have your child choose another category and begin again.
