Did you know that reading aids your child's intellectual and cognitive development?! Reading helps develop communication and language skills. For impactful language acquisition, learning must be FUN! Make reading a fun activity while fostering that special bond between you and your little one. Make your child a lifelong reader by getting him to read early. What is Early Literacy? Early literacy is what a child knows about reading and writing before he learns to read and write. This starts before your child enters school and YOU play a big part in supporting your child's reading journey. Using the 5 Early Literacy Practices | READING | PLAYING | TALKING | SINGING | WRITING |, you can create enjoyable reading experiences while promoting early literacy.

TALKING helps a child develop early literacy skills. Nurture your babbling baby into a talkative toddler by talking and reading to him often. Talking is also an excellent way to build his narrative skills. These skills are needed to help him with reading as he grows older. Read aloud and encourage your child to read along with you. You can initiate conversations about stories by asking “What do you see on this page?” or “What do you think will happen next?”Activity Sea = See? Homophones are words tnat have the same sound but different meanings. Read each of these sentences aloud. Ask your child to explain what each similar-sounding object means. Distinguishing words that sound the same is important so that children learn the correct meanings of words and sentences ‘the fish in the ides his horse at was silky smooth.ete Uc Oars Mose Pius ee eLN sae ey JP BRA -[BA] Guess which Ct tea behind the flaps Yer eC Cu ma try asking your ea a Paar ce Cnn mls their sounds too!

Children also remember things better when they are said in a rhyme or sung to a catchy tune. Sf SsActivity To Rhyme or Not to Rhyme? Rhyming words are grouped together by a common sound, for example, hat, cat, and mat. Identifying rhyming words helps your child to recognise different sounds in words.
