Playing with words

A Toolkit for Supporting Families Impacted by COVID-19

In order to serve educators and families during the COVID-19 crisis, ReadyRosie developed this free toolkit as a resource to support families with information and resources for supporting the children in their care. The current content on this site will be available throughout the summer. We invite educators to explore ReadyRosie’s complete family engagement platform to help schools and programs partner with families throughout the summer and into the new school year.

Modeled Moment: Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down

Try this listening game with your child. Ask your child to give you a thumbs up if the two words you say are the same. Give a thumbs down if they are different. Give word pairs that make them really use careful listening skills. For example: cat/cat (thumbs up), cat/bat (thumbs down), book/big (thumbs down).
