Using Vocabulary and the Senses to Learn About Apples | NPT3
Season 2022
Episode 15
Sometimes snack time presents a great opportunity to eat something nutritious while also developing literacy skills. For example, when your child is enjoying an apple or other piece of fruit, you can talk a bit about the fruit. What color is it? What’s inside? How would you describe the smell, feel, and taste? Write down your observations and point out new vocabulary words.
