ALPHABERT THE READY TO READ ROBOT™ ACTIVITIES ACTIVITY 12 - LETTER CATCH (continued) How Can You Help? • After your child has caught all of the correct letters, have him or her tell you the meaning of the word, and then use the word in a sentence. This is a great way to check for comprehension of the word. • Have your child write some of the words from this activity down on paper. Your child may wish to use paint, crayons, markers, etc. to show the words he or she is able to spell. • Your child could practice reading the words that he or she can now spell. Together with your child, say the name of the letters in the word and then say the name of the word.
