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

Using the picture prompt below, ask your child to write a story based on their ideas. 

Focus on using the correct writing techniques like finger spaces, capital letters at the beginning of a sentence and writing on the solid line. Don't forget the matching picture!

At the end of your child’s writing, ask them to edit their writing. Making sure all magic words are spelt correctly and they have used lower case letters to write their words.
