Reading - When reading with your child, cover up the next word in a sentence before your child comes to it.  See if they can make some reasonable guesses about what the next word might be.  Encourage your child to use the context of the sentence, the topic of the book and the word right before it to make their prediction.  Then uncover the word and see if they are right.  If not, talk about how their choice compares to the actual word.

Math - Talk about estimating inches and feet.  As you drive, wait in line or sit at the table, pick an object in eyesight and make predictions about how long it is.  Would you use inches or feet to measure it?  What would be a reasonable estimate for the length?  How could you check to find out?
