Valentine Reading for Pre-schoolers!

Here's a really fun way to get your child to practice their reading by using Valentine's as the bait! 

With the valentine's I have written here, they are to say the name of the letter; but, if the letter is in parenthesis, they are to say the sound of the letter.  You can print out a copy of the ideas I've written here, or create your own valentine's and write them on it.  And, of course, feel free to make up some of your own letter/sound/picture combinations to come up with more fun Valentine reading.  

I said this is for pre-schoolers because it's on their reading level, but it's fun for all ages.  Have your older kids try to come up with some valentine's of their own.  IMPORTANT:  Be sure to tell your little ones that this is not the way you would read these words in a book.  It's just a fun short cut for the words.

Happy Valentine's everyone!  I LOVE this holiday of love!
