Music
"I Had a Cat"
Take a break and sing some songs, either using YouTube for assistance (you can use my Videos page for assistance for this) or sing them together as you do party of your families daily routine (chores, etc). Most of these videos would be better viewed for audio, rather than visual, as it will be easy for your child to become preoccupied with the animations.

Poetry
Read "There were once two cats from Kilkenny" together.
There were once two cats from Kilkenny,
Each thought there was once cat too many;
So they fought and they fit,
And they scratched and they bit,
Till, excepting their nails
And the tips of their tails,
Instead of two cats, there weren't any.
Try memorizing it throughout the week.
*You will be surprised how quickly your child memorizes at this age, especially rhymes.
