A great resource to introduce young children to different cultures.
‘The Lingo Show’ introduces different languages to a pre-school audience, sprinkled with a bit of culture.
‘Every Day’s a Learning Day’ consists of two books produced by Education Scotland for parents and carers of children aged between birth and 3 years, and 3 to 6 years. The aim is to help parents support their child’s development in the crucial areas of health and wellbeing, literacy and numeracy.
This resource highlights the many excellent learning opportunities that exist within daily experiences such as washing the dishes, preparing a meal or doing the shopping.
The books will be distributed through the Scottish Book Trust’s Bookbug programme. Parents of new babies are set to receive a copy of the birth to 3 book from their health visitor. The second book, which supports parents with children aged 3 to 6 years, will be issued when their child turns 3 and starts nursery.
To view the copies of ‘Every Day’s a Learning Day’ online, please visit the Education Scotland website where you can download both books in PDF format, including a Gaelic language version.
