Open the preview and read the directions before downloading. Print only the pages you plan to use, check your printer’s preview for clipped edges, and use color when a task depends on identifying colors. Have pencils ready; cut-and-paste tasks also need child-safe scissors, glue and adult supervision.
Start with one activity. Read the directions together, model a single example, then let your child try. If reading, handwriting or cutting gets in the way of the main task, read aloud, take dictation or prepare the pieces first.
