We want our children to listen and attend, understand and communicate effectively.
Do a daily show and tell.
At the dinner table ask about the highlights of the day - model more complex sentences using the word because. Ask Who? Where? What? Why? Questions
After watching a programme on TV, ask your child 4 key events that happened. What do they think would happen next? Could they create their own episode, verbally, with you? Draw pictures to make a storyboard.
Enjoy some reading with familiar faces from school ....
