Parent's Guide: Sentence Framing and Early Literacy Activities
This parent's guide equips families of children ages 3-5 with a toolkit of hands-on activities — sentence framing, letter games, number and money recognition, and before/after sequencing with blocks — that build early literacy and numeracy together rather than in isolation. Framing simple sentences specifically helps children move from single words to connected speech, a critical bridge toward writing their own sentences later.

How to use this worksheet
Work through the guide's sections at your own pace rather than all at once. Use the letter and object games to build vocabulary through play. Introduce coins and notes casually during pretend shopping to build early money awareness. Use blocks to physically demonstrate before/after and number order concepts. When you reach the sentence framing section, model a simple sentence structure — like 'I see a ___' — and help your child fill in the blank with their own word choices.
