R is for Rocket

Hey, If you notice the name of this blog, it is ReaDing Rhinoceros Resources.

The R stands for my husband, Ray, and the D (capitalized in the word ReaDing) stands for me Deb. I thought this was cool, like the title of this book. We used the same letters to create OUR title, ReaDing Rhinoceros Resources.

Tad Hills (who wrote and illustrated this story) reads R Is for Rocket: An ABC Story. Click below.

A is for ACTIVITY: What can you write about YOUR name? What letter does it start with? What other cool words start with the same letter?

For older kids, can you make sentences with all the words starting with the same letter of your name?

You need: Paper, Markers, Pens, Crayons

Make a poster of all the words that you can, that start with the letter of your name.

Then try the second letter, and so on.

C is for CHALLENGE - Challenge your family and Friends to do the same...
