Sign Search

Letters and words are all around us -- on signs! Road signs, store signs and billboards are perfect tools for teaching kids about letters and print. Next time you are out and about, see how many signs your child can recognize. Start collecting pictures of some familiar signs from flyers and advertisements and make a book your child can read all by herself!

Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

All the king's horses and all the king's men,

Couldn't put Humpty together again!
