Hello to all our families. Keep checking our Blog for activities and ideas to enjoy with your child.
Building literacy skills
Almost anything you do with your child will help develop their literacy.
Through conversations with you, they can learn new words and how to use them. There is a link below to show four key things that really help.
Playing and helping you with tasks in the home develops your child’s movement and coordination, which will help with their handwriting. They can make marks and draw pictures to show their ideas. You can let them “help” when you are reading or writing – such as a list or a TV programme guide.
The most important thing you can do with your child is to share and enjoy stories, songs and rhymes together.
- Snuggle up and read with your child every day. Have a special place to
keep your books. - Let your child act out the story. They might be moving but they are still
listening.
Here are some favourite stories to enjoy with your child. You can read them over and over, Please re-visit previous posts to repeat the activities too!
