Literacy & Reading Activities
Not all children want to sit down with a book and read. Why not use cooking to build vocabulary, follow instructions, and explore new words instead? The kitchen is full of reading opportunities!
Words in the Kitchen
Our Literacy & Reading Activities
📋
Reading a Recipe Together
Follow a recipe step by step — reading instructions, identifying words, and understanding the order things need to happen.

Reading Labels & Packaging
Explore ingredient labels at home or in the supermarket. What does it say? How much is in it? What are the ingredients?

Writing a Shopping List
Help your child write or draw a shopping list before you cook together. A brilliant way to practise letter formation and spelling.
