and meaningfully to works of art and, through
this process, to forge connections to our
humanity and the humanity of others.

participate. authentically in the arts. While
individuals can learn about dance, media, music,

texts, artistic literacy requires that they.

practices intrinsically involve the reception-production
of “signs” in a continuous process of “translation” from
one 'language' to another.

8. 12 Art Activities to Build Literacy Skills
Reading and Writing
• Invite your child to paint a self-portrait and write (or dictate) a
description. Do this monthly, and ask them to embellish both the
portrait and descriptions with details like favorite color, game, or food.
• Write in clay, play dough, or shaving cream. Children love getting
messy and using their hands. This is a great way to practice forming
letters, words, or even sentences.
• Create poetry using a simple prompt. For example, writing “I like…”
on each line and providing your child with different topics (food,
animals, travel, etc).

9. • Model journaling. Share different ways to keep track of
thoughts, ideas, and feelings.
• Practice letter-sound awareness by painting your own
animal alphabet. Write each letter in marker and then have
your child illustrate the card with a corresponding animal
(e.g., M for monkey).
• Invite your child to carefully examine the illustrations in
picture books. See how they tell a story. This is a helpful
pre-reading skill as children learn how words are connected
to pictures.

10. Listening and Speaking
•Notice patterns in songs. Identify rhyming words,
repetitive lines, and clap or dance to the rhythm of
the song.
•Sing along with songs to encourage vocabulary
development and improve memory.
•Ask your child to describe what they see in paintings,
illustrations, and photographs.This will help them use
adjectives and will support language mastery.

11. • Invite your child to narrate a story as they play. This
encourages creative storytelling.
• Act out or retell familiar stories. This will help children
practice sequencing skills.
• Plan out bigger projects allowing your child to lead. This will
provide valuable practice in presenting and sharing ideas
others.

children, it can also cultivate a deeper love of learning”.
