Ask kids to identify five random objects in different ways to build literacy.
Here's a fun literacy-building activity. Ask your child to pull objects out of a bag for example. Start with five things. For each, ask your child to write down one word they associate with the object. These descriptive words become their vocabulary list. They can describe what the objects have in common. This activity can be done on a trip, in a restaurant, or at home.

- Visual learning is a literacy strategy that helps reinforce reading skills and it can be used anywhere, on a car trip, in a restaurant or with random objects around our house.
We start with a bag full of five things and my kids pull them out one at a time.
With each object, I ask Sidney and Gideon to say and write down one word they associate with that object.
These descriptive words become their own vocabulary list.
Gideon, what was your word, music.
- Music.
- To take it a step further, I'll ask Gideon and Sydney what the five objects have in common or not.
- Animal.
I think of animal.
- We continue the discussion by comparing answers and checking out everyone's vocabulary list.
Visual literacy is a fun way to see all the different words that come to mind from one object.
