WELCOME TO RECIPES TO READING!
TEACH YOUR CHILD TO READ THROUGH THESE PICTURE RECIPES.
Picture-based recipes will have your child learning to read through visual clues, just like picture books.
By navigating through the website, you can find fun, child-friendly, picture-based recipes. These can be downloaded for ONLY $1.59 each and are found in the RECIPES DOWNLOAD section. Since these are downloads, there are no shipping charges and NEVER a handling fee!
This website is also a resource for books for cooking, follow-up activities and free worksheets which are located in the FREE WORKSHEETS section. COMING SOON - flash cards.
During the cooking experience, each child learns reading, math, science, social studies, and pre-writing skills while working alongside you, the parent or teacher.
ALL OF OUR RECIPES ARE CHILD TESTED IN A CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT
THIS SITE IS FOR:- Young children who love to cook
- Teachers
- Young home-schoolers
LITERATURE BASED COOKING PROMOTES:
- Bonding and teamwork
- Building self-esteem by allowing a child to read the recipe and follow the steps
- Building bridges between literature and real life; written words to an object
- Building fine motor skills necessary for writing by cutting, tearing, mixing, spreading, grating and rolling
- Encouraging picky children to try something new; children are more inclined to taste food that they prepared themselves, not to mention tasting the ingredients during preparation
- Building an appreciation for literature; books come to life with food and can be enjoyed through all five senses
- Encouraging sequencing and following directions, problem solving, critical thinking and responsibility
- Increasing and enforcing vocabulary
- Teaching children about nutrition
Welcome, enjoy and thank you for visiting us!
