Why integrate literacy?

Parent involvement in literacy has not changed, but the distractions in life have. With the amount of technology available to children and parents, time spent together is rare. These activities are simple, short, and easy to prepare for so that parents can feel apart of their child's literacy development. With time so short, integrating two activities together is a bonus. Uniting topics is a practical way to cover subjects a child needs to learn. After all, parental involvement in reading aloud does increase a child's love for literacy.
