Ways To Help Your Child

TALK and LISTEN to your child
Sing and say nursery rhymes to your pre-school child
Play word games and listening games – I spy, rhyming games, etc
PRAISE and ENCOURAGE your child – avoid negative remarks
Read to your child from an early age and make it a fun/cosy experience
Keep reading to your child, even when they can read!
Hear your child read when they begin to learn at school, but make it fun, not a chore
Be a role model – read in front of your child
Join the local library
Point out words/letters around you
Try not to compare your child with siblings or peers
