Any time spent talking and doing things together helps preschool children to develop language skills. Older children will gain practice in reading and writing recipes, following sequenced directions, weighing and measuring and working with fractions. This kit helps families begin cooking together. It is one in a series of how-to kits that can be downloaded from the NWT Literacy Council website at www.nwt.literacy.ca.
