ACTIVITIES YOU CAN DO AT HOME TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD'S LEARNING

Using the satchel book or another book of your choice, read through the text and go on a treasure hunt to find the nouns and adjectives or the verbs and adverbs.  Ask your child which are their favourite describing words and notice how they make the writing more interesting and precise.  

As an extension, ask your child to suggest a synonym for some of these words.
