There are so many games to play too.

Eye spy - using colours initially, then starting sounds, then letters

Rhyming games - see who can make the longest rhyming silly sentence.

Hangman - once they're starting to write, this will teach the spellings, as well as have them think about what they want to create.

I pick a word, and give her an "imaginary coin" every time she sees that word. Things like Bus or Stop, Road, Exit. Words she'll see around.
