Reading signs can make for great literacy practice.
Building literacy skills doesn't always involve a book or educational app. Going to a park can be an opportunity to practice reading. Young readers can learn to decipher what time the park closes and which paths lead where. As an added benefit, reading informational signs can help keep kids safe and make better choices.
