Bookbug Rhyme Time sessions

Leave a comment

What a fabulous support we had at the recent launch of this terms Bookbug Rhyme Time, it was lovely to have colleagues from health and CLD to join us.

Every Wednesday morning the group will take place for you and your child from 9 am until 9.15 am with Susan and Amanda, where Bookbug will then issue you will a lovely rhyme bag to share at home with your child until the following session.

In the room we shall be incorporating the rhyme Humpty Dumpty, into the children’s play, we hope that you will help them hear it at home too.

 Top Tip from Gemma speech and language therapist

Extend vocabulary – give lots of repetition of words and offer choices to increase vocabulary e.g. ” apple or banana”. Speak in a lively, animated voice to highlight new words to your child.

Three read approach to literacy

Three read approach to literacy

Leave a comment

The returning children have settled well into the new term , exploring the new resources,reconnecting with their friends, and helping the new children find their way around.

Research has shown that children who can confidently recite at least 4 nursery rhymes will have a greater success when it comes to reading, with this in mind we will now be incorporating a weekly rhyme into the children’s play.  As we have had so much rain over the past week the first rhyme which we are going to incorporate is Incy Wincy Spider.

 

The three read to literacy groups have been reformed based on the children’s stage of development and the progress they have demonstrated last year.  To help develop the children’s phonological awareness they will be taking part in weekly sessions of either ABC music or Kodaly, why not ask them which group they are in?

These are the stories which are being read with your child along with the new vocabulary which they will hear.
