The word on the street is…
compliment
SEND A SMILE Mail a compliment to a friend. Write a letter to a pal that says something nice.
Just fill in the blank spaces in the letter below and tell your buddy why you think he’s so great!
You can draw the pictures, and a grown-up can write the words. You can even cut out the letter
and mail it or deliver it by hand to your friend!
Parents: Use index cards to make compliment messages that can be given out throughout the
day. It can be so empowering for children to know that they think they are special!

The word on the street is…
cheer
Make it a hip, hip, hooray day! Look for little opportunities to cheer for your child throughout the day.
A high five or “hip, hip, hooray” when your child shares her toys or writes her name will help her feel
proud. Show her that even grown-ups love a little applause, and help her find an opportunity to cheer
for you, too.
Here is a sign that your child can use to give someone a boost. In the big star below, have her draw a
picture of herself cheering. Then tape a craft stick or straw to the back of this page so she can wave it
up and down as she cheers.
You are a star!

You and your child can build language each day. Here are some “recipes” for learning new
words. Cut them out and use them on a rainy day, take them with you on the go, or keep them in
a pile by your child’s bed. Add your own word recipes to the mix!
