    Literacy Activities

    Early literacy is a passion here at What Do We Do All Day? We love books, reading and I'm trying to build a strong foundation for my kids. I want them to enjoy learning and so I try to keep things simple and playful. We have preschool literacy ideas, tons and tons of books lists for every interest and reading level, as well as writing activities.
