Here is an example of a chore chart we use in our home for our pre-readers. We use clip art instead of words and allow them to put a sticker on the photo when they complete a task. Many little ones as early as 2 can understand a chart like this. Younger ones can still help out but will need one on one direction much more and clip art will only be a fun thing to look at!
