About Literacy - Part 2

Did you know...Scribbling helps your children learn to write.

Give your children a pen and a piece of paper and let them draw and scribble. Scribbling helps your children ‘draw’ their thoughts on a piece of paper. Writing will be like a particular kind of ‘drawing’ to them. Overtime, they will learn that writing can be a way to express their thoughts.

About Literacy - Part 2

Did you know...Going to the park can be a great opportunity to help your children develop literacy skills.

Ask your children what activities they would like to do in the park and write them down on a piece of paper. Read back to them what you have written down. Children like to imitate so ask them to write down what activities you would like to do in the park too. This experience can be the beginning of their story writing adventures. Your children might simply be scribbling now but it will lead to something. I will share more about what scribbling will lead to in my next Did You Know...so stay tuned.

Did you know...A train ride can be a great opportunity to help your children develop literacy skills.

Checking the timetable on the screen; reading the ticket together; looking for the platform; listening to the guard’s announcement; looking out for the name of the destination on the platform. All these activities can help develop your children’s literacy skills.
