Reading and Storytelling with Children
Story Book
The Importance of reading and storytelling with children explained ⇨ Key points
Reading and storytelling with your child promotes brain development and imagination, teaches your child about language and emotions, and strengthens your relationship.
You don’t always need to read books. Try looking at picture books, singing rhymes and songs, or telling stories from your culture.
Babies and young children often enjoy books, songs and stories with good rhyme, rhythm and repetition.
Anytime is a good time for a book or story! Try to share at least one book or story each day.

Everyday Activities
These are some things you can plan and do everyday.
Visuals are a way we can share with our children what we are doing.
In this way they are prepared for the activity, anticipate what is next and adds an element of predictability to their day.
Using language like ... first we will do .... then we will do .... helps your child be involved in their learning and not just be a passive recipient of something happening to them.
Ownership and being part of the learning and teaching process is an important part of feeling empowered as a learner.

Welcome
Welcome to our Learning Support Centre Blog.
Definitely a day to learn something new as I have now learnt how to add something to our Blog.
Hopefully this will be the start of a great way to learn and share with each other.
