Literacy Tip: Play "I Spy" Storybook Hunt! πŸ”πŸ“š

What to do: Open up a favorite picture book and play a round of "I Spy" with the illustrations! Ask your toddler to find items on the page using colors, shapes, or initial letter sounds ("I spy with my little eye something red!" or "I spy something that starts with the /b/ sound like ball!").

How this builds big skills:
🀝 ENGAGE: Captures your child's attention and keeps storytime active and interactive.
πŸ’‘ INSPIRE: Sparks curiosity about how pictures connect to words and story meaning.
πŸš€ ELEVATE: Builds foundational print awareness, vocabulary, and early phonics skills that pave the way for reading readiness!

πŸ’‘ Parent Pro-Tip: Let your toddler take a turn being the spy, too! Giving them control over the game builds confidence and excitement around books. πŸ’›

πŸ“š Bring Free books and learning home!
Looking to expand your child's home library and prepare them for school success?

🎁 Get Free Books: Parents in Pinellas County can register their toddler for our Ready to Read program and receive a FREE book delivered to their home each month! Sign up at elcpinellas.org/readytoread.

🏫 Explore Early Learning & Funding: Discover local quality early learning centers, Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK), and School Readiness financial assistance options at elcpinellas.org or call (727) 548-1400.
