Parent's Guide: Fun Activities for Reading, Forces, and Movement!
This multi-part guide walks parents and children ages 3-5 through several linked activities in one sitting — practicing 3-letter words, arranging simple sentences, discussing cleanliness habits, and exploring forces and movement with magnets — giving a broad snapshot of early literacy and science skills in a single session. Covering reading and science side by side in one guide shows how everyday routines can double as learning moments.

How to use this worksheet
Work through each section in order rather than all at once, since they cover different skills. For the 3-letter words, sound out each word together before your child writes it. For the sentence section, read the scrambled words aloud and help your child arrange them in the correct order. Talk through the cleanliness discussion using real examples from your child's day. Finish with the forces and movement section, using a real magnet to test which household objects it attracts and discussing what 'push' and 'pull' mean.
