Sensory Music is a great sensory experience for children, and we’ve noticed
Abigail really responds to toys that make noise. You can incorporate
small drums, tambourines, or even rattlers into her play to encourage
that.

LIteracy Continue your readings that you do with Abigail. Point to the words as
you read them and you can have her to continue to help you turn the
pages. In addition to that, you can begin to incorporate alphabetic
blocks and magnets in her play within the next year for her to just
become familiar with.
