Holiday Reading

As we reach the mid-point of the academic year, we would like to share with you some ideas and resources to support your child's reading and language development over the holiday break. 

 

  1. Encourage holiday reading: It is valuable to continue to promote reading habits during the break from school. Encourage your child to choose books that interest them and set aside dedicated reading time each day. Consider visiting your local library or bookstore together to discover new titles. Remember, reading can be an adventure and a great way to explore new worlds!

 

  1. Digital Resources: In today's digital age, there are numerous online resources to support literacy. Explore websites that offer interactive reading activities, educational games, and e-books. Some popular platforms include Epic!, Raz-Kids, Reading Eggs and Reading Rockets. These tools can make reading enjoyable and engaging for your child while providing valuable educational content.

 

  1. Family Reading Time: Make reading a family affair by setting aside dedicated family reading time. Choose a book that everyone can enjoy and take turns reading aloud.  Audio books on longer car trips can also be a way to enjoy a book together.

 

Remember, your support and involvement play a crucial role in nurturing your child's literacy skills. By making reading enjoyable and accessible, you can help them become lifelong learners and avid readers. 

 

We wish you and your children a fantastic winter holiday filled with exciting literary adventures!

 

Happy reading!
