Check out Reading Is Fundamental (www.rif.org) and Colorin Colorado
(http://www.colorincolorado.org/educators) for literacy activities for
young children. In fact, RIF just launched a brand new section of their
web site today called Leading to Reading
(http://www.rif.org/leadingtoreading/), "a free resource
<http://www.rif.org/leadingtoreading>  to help parents and childcare
providers develop the language skills of their infants, toddlers, and
preschoolers."

Yes, Sarah, that is an area where the Thinkfinity site is lacking.
Hopefully, there will be some resources for those working with younger
learners before long.

 

Does anyone have a good resource for activities for children under the
age of four?

Gail, I am surprised the site does not list any activities for children
under 4 years of age!

The Thinkfinity Web site has listed some summer reading/writing
activities for children. You may select by age/grade level. This is a
resource your parents might be interested in or if you are providing
summer activities for children, I think you will enjoy this site as
well. Please take a look at 
 
http://thinkfinity.com/home.aspx
 
and click on Summer Activities. Enjoy!
