Opportunities for reading and writing are all around us--even when the subject is food.
What you'll need:
* Menus.
What to do:
* Go with your child to several restaurants to ask for free copies of their menus. Take them home. Ask your child to read several of the items on each menu with their descriptions.
Then ask your child to make up a menu for an imaginary restaurant--the Moose Cafe or the Tuna Bake Bistro--with creative descriptions.
