Our 2 year old’s celebrated world book day by reading together. As you can see, the children enjoyed selecting some of their most loved books at nursery. Books are a magical experience for children of all ages. Regardless, if you are reading books or creating your own story from the imaginative pictures, children will treasure this experience. Spending time with a familiar adult and learning together. Books are also a fantastic addition to routine at home and can be a perfect way to relax your child before bed.
Five ways you can help your child enjoy stories and rhymes
- Take time to look together at the words and pictures in a story
- Use your hands and face as well as your voice – your child will love to see you smiling
- Use animal sounds like woof, growl and hoot – this will really help to bring the story to life
- Stories and rhymes can be shared with the whole family so why not invite siblings or other family members to join in?
- Don’t be shy, relax and enjoy – if you are having fun so will your child.
