Reading stories
- Daily reading is a key part of your child’s education and something that you should continue to do if they are home learning. Both reading to your child, having your child read to you is something that should be done on a regular basis.
- You could encourage your child to act out stories or create a puppet show (shadow puppets are great for this) to retell the story they have just read.
- If your child isn’t a fan of fiction, non-fiction books are just as valuable. Challenge them to recount what they have found out.
- Practical tip: Every time you read with your child, ask them questions about what they have read.
