Cook-Up a Reading Dish

Video Transcript

Hi, I'm Ann Kennedy and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm here to talk to you about understanding the nature of reading. Cooking up a reading dish. It's a wonderful way to introduce your children to reading. Cooking and reading. First you can have recipe cards. For example, an ice cream pie. Let your child see what you're writing down. Or as you're making the ice cream pie, depending on the age of your child, you'll say for ingredients I need a nine ounce package of vanilla cookies which you can find over there. And a half a stick of butter, two pints of ice cream and whipped cream. Be careful on your ingredients. Make sure that your ingredients are easy for your child to reach and they'll start knowing just by shapes and sizes. You're also not only teaching reading, you're teaching the basis as they get older to learn geometry and algebra and calculus and arithmetic by putting sizes and proportions that you're talking about as you're talking about cooking. So you're modeling thinking, reading and writing, it's a connection. But cooking is very very important with your recipe cards and to have cook books available and to have your child see or maybe make a recipe themselves of how they want a peanut butter cookie. And maybe draw a jar of peanut butter but it's very very important to show that there is that connection and if you enjoy math, this is such a wonderful way to start that part of the brain that uses math skills, to start it up and to see the child starting to see a relationship with math and concepts that they'll see later with shapes. So that's cooking and reading.
