Parents unsure how effective they are being with #homelearning tasks. One of the most important things you can do is SHARE books with your child. Read aloud to them whether they are already reading themselves or not. THREAD

Give them the opportunity to CHOOSE the books you share together - sometimes they will want the same book over ( and over!) again - but that's okay.

TALK about books. Share favourite characters or parts of the story, talk about what you want to happen next. Find the rhyming words, think about what unfamiliar words might mean.

REVISIT books Encourage children to join in as you read with the rhyming or repeated parts, by being one of the characters or just with the sound effects!

MAKE a mini book To retell the story or draw the main characters.
