This list below details some simple suggestions to infuse literacy into everyday tasks and routines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Incorporate literacy into everyday activities.<\/strong> Invite your child to create lists that not only keep them in the loop of summer activities, but also provide a way for them to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.understood.org\/en\/articles\/7-great-ways-to-encourage-your-grade-schoolers-writing\">practise their writing skills<\/a>. Invite your child to write the grocery list, to-do lists, summer bucket lists or packing lists for day trips or vacations. Compliment their writing and focus on their willingness to participate, not their spelling or letter formation. <\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Explore books for enjoyment and special interests.<\/strong> During the school year, students often practise their reading with books that are targeted to their current learning skill focus. Embracing books that are reflective of your child\u2019s special interests can increase their background knowledge on a variety of topics, spark their curiosity and provide them with a sense of control over their reading selections. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"align-center \">\n<div class=\"placeholder-container\" style=\"--aspect-ratio-percent:64.85411140583554%;--background-color:#4f352a\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A child bent over a book.\" class=\"lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/668257\/original\/file-20250515-56-f2wrlg.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&amp;q=45&amp;auto=format&amp;w=754&amp;fit=clip\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/668257\/original\/file-20250515-56-f2wrlg.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&amp;q=45&amp;auto=format&amp;w=600&amp;h=389&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=1 600w, https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/668257\/original\/file-20250515-56-f2wrlg.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&amp;q=30&amp;auto=format&amp;w=600&amp;h=389&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=2 1200w, https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/668257\/original\/file-20250515-56-f2wrlg.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&amp;q=15&amp;auto=format&amp;w=600&amp;h=389&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=3 1800w, https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/668257\/original\/file-20250515-56-f2wrlg.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&amp;q=45&amp;auto=format&amp;w=754&amp;h=489&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=1 754w, https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/668257\/original\/file-20250515-56-f2wrlg.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&amp;q=30&amp;auto=format&amp;w=754&amp;h=489&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=2 1508w, https:\/\/images.theconversation.com\/files\/668257\/original\/file-20250515-56-f2wrlg.jpg?ixlib=rb-4.1.0&amp;q=15&amp;auto=format&amp;w=754&amp;h=489&amp;fit=crop&amp;dpr=3 2262w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1466px) 754px, (max-width: 599px) 100vw, (min-width: 600px) 600px, 237px\"\/><\/div><figcaption>\n              <span class=\"caption\">Embracing books that reflect a child\u2019s special interests provides them with a sense of enjoyment and control over what they read.

Identify the letters and sounds in the words, or point out which letters are capitalized.
