Literacy Bag Links and Resources

Literacy Bags are a fun way to extend learning into children's homes. 
You can purchase a bag and one of the books below.  Put the book in the bag. 
Now browse the links and resources listed below.  Find some things that are developmentally appropriate for the children you are working with.  Print them and put them to the literacy bag.  The children get to check the bags out just like them would a library book.  They complete some of the games and activities you've included in the bag and return it back to you.  You then have the restock the bag and get it ready for the next child.  It's a fun way to get children and parents involved.
Some teachers add a list to each bag listing the items that came in the bags
so parents know what needs to be returned.
