Why are we here?Because you love your kid
Because helping them be ready to read when they go to school is important
Because math and science are ways to teach your child about the world
Because math and science are important

Children become “ready to read” between 4 and 7 years old.
No DVD, flashcards, talking toy, or computer can do
what YOU can do
to get them ready to read.
You’ve already started!
Cost of it: free
“Teach your Baby to Read”™ was sued by unhappy customers and quit selling educational DVDs.
Don’t get conned or waste your hard-earned money

Reading is essential to school success.
Start now to help your childget ready to read.
Learning to read begins before
children start school.
![Page 5: Fun with Math & Science for Families](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062514/55842fefd8b42a0b6d8b4fd1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why are parents so
important in helping
their children get
ready to read?
You are your child’s first teacher.
You know your child best.
Children learn best by doing, and they love doing things with you.
![Page 6: Fun with Math & Science for Families](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062514/55842fefd8b42a0b6d8b4fd1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why is it important
for children to get
ready to read before they startschool?
Children who start kindergarten with good
pre-reading skills have an advantage.
They are ready to learn to read.
![Page 7: Fun with Math & Science for Families](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062514/55842fefd8b42a0b6d8b4fd1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

The language of science and
math can expand your child’s vocabulary.
![Page 8: Fun with Math & Science for Families](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062514/55842fefd8b42a0b6d8b4fd1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Learning about the world helps children get ready to read.
Children can learn important
knowledge about how the world works through simple science
and math experiences.
![Page 9: Fun with Math & Science for Families](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062514/55842fefd8b42a0b6d8b4fd1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What is the scientific method?
The scientific method is a way to ask and answer questions by making observations and doing experiments.
What are the steps?1.Ask a question.
2. Make a guess about the answer.
3. Do an experiment.
4. Make observations.
5. Draw conclusions.
![Page 10: Fun with Math & Science for Families](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062514/55842fefd8b42a0b6d8b4fd1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1. Question: Does warm water affect ice? 2. Predict: Make a guess. Will the ice cubes in
warm water melt differently than the ice cubes in cold water?
3. Experiment: Put some ice cubes in warm water and some ice cubes in cold water.
4. Observe: Watch the ice cubes closely. 5. Conclusion: What happens???
An example of the scientific method.
Let’s learn how to learn by exploring ice cubes!
![Page 11: Fun with Math & Science for Families](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062514/55842fefd8b42a0b6d8b4fd1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why can I see my breath when it is
cold?

What is your question?
Start with questions.
Help your child learn how to learn.
• Encourage your child to ask questions.
• Talk about possible answers.• Look for answers together: talk, read, and write!
