Fun Reading Activities: Day 20 – Cookie Recipes

Learning to read is difficult —  so we are making it easier with a series of fun activities that you can do with your child for reading practice.

With each activity your reader will practice core reading skills such as inferencing, prediction, main idea, description, etc. AND you and your learner will be having  a great time!

Let’s turn reading into fun!

You  will  need:   some  kid  friendly  cookie  recipes.

Choose one of the recipes and read it together, explaining the different parts of the recipe, such as the ingredient list, the instructions, etc. Limit your explanation to what is suitable for your child… you may not want to explain the whole measuring system to a Kindergarten kid!

Next, ask questions about the recipe, such as: how many cookies will the recipe make? What temperature for the oven? Help your child find the answer. Get them to ask you some questions, too!

Pass a second recipe to your child and ask similar questions. If they need help, do it together or reverse roles.

Congratulate your child on an excellent job!
