How to help your child at home
How to help your child at home
The following are some simple suggestions of how you can support your child's learning at home through authentic experiences and fun games.
***Of course, asking your child about their day is the simplest way to help them (don't accept the 'I don't know answers'). Talking about any aspect of their school day helps them to reflect and review what they have learned.***
ALPHABET, PRINTING & PHonics
ALPHABET, PRINTING & PHonics
Read alphabet books together
Point out the letters in your child's name and the names of family members
Point out letters in signs and labels
Play letter-matching games and concentration games
Help your child create his/her own personal alphabet book
Put alphabet magnets on your refrigerator

READING
READING
Try to find some time each day to listen to or read stories together
Encourage your child to choose books that interest him/her
Read favourite stories, again and again!
Encourage your child to turn the pages when you are reading together.
Encourage your child to read the parts of the book that are repetitive, along with you - remember to follow with your finger!
Change the tone and pace of your voice when reading - slow down in sad parts or at the end, read quickly when it's a scary passage, loudly when a character is shouting, softly for suspense, or when a character is speaking quietly.
Talk about favourite, funny, or scary parts of the books, ask what might happen next, or review passages that may have been confusing.
Create your own word wall of commonly used/seen sight words and watch the list grow!
