Love of Reading!
Encouraging your child to look at books and read stories is crucial for your their development. It helps with their ability to understand words, use their imagination and develop their speech. Most importantly it will develop a LOVE OF READING!
Try to set aside time each day to sit and share a book. Turn off any distractions and have some quiet time together getting lost in a story. Talk to your child about the pictures, ask them what they can see and what they think is going to happen in the story. You can also look at rhymes and sing songs together. These will also promote the value and pleasure of reading.
Reading Ideas
Set up a reading corner in your home.
Retell simple stories.
For example, We’re Going on a Bear Hunt or Rosie’s Walk.
Make up your own stories using your toys.
Take a book with you to the park.
Read a story to a sibling.
If you would like to share your photos of your child reading, please sent them to:
stjameseyfs@spherefederation.org
Writing is fun!
Any marks that your child makes is part of their writing process. Children can develop their writing skills through play. For example, set up a cafe at home so they can write menus, recipes or order lists. This writing has a purpose and it more meaningful. As an adult, when you are writing, explain to your child what you are writing about and show them. Children are inquisitive and like to watch you write.
Mark making doesn’t just have to involve paper!
Here’s a video with some ideas.
More Ideas!
Set up a writing area at home similar to the one in our classroom.
You could use: pens, crayons, pencils, post it notes, different types of paper, old birthday cards and speech bubbles.
Use Duplo or Lego to make patterns or letter shapes.
Use a roll of wall paper and lay it on the floor.
This will allow your child to make bigger marks.
Make marks in rice! You could colour the rice using food colouring.
