Rhyme Time
Rhyme Time - Change of day!
In Term 4, Rhyme Time will take place on a Friday morning from 8:30-8:50am in the library. This is open to children of all ages; babies, toddlers and young children. We have fun singing songs and doing jigsaws.
Why do we sing rhymes?
Singing songs and hearing rhyme is a powerful tool for young children's oral language development, and having a good oral language base is an important foundation skill for learning to read. Hearing rhyme and repetition also has a positive effect on the development of reading comprehension and vocabulary.
Why do we do jigsaw puzzles?
As young children manipulate small pieces of jigsaw to fit into an exact place they are developing their hand-eye coordination.
This action also stimulates brain activity which enhances memory and concentration. There is a positive link between doing jigsaws and literacy; completing puzzles helps develop spatial awareness and visual memory and these skills are important for helping to recognise letters of the alphabet and numbers.
Bring your toddler and come along and join us in the library when you can on a Friday morning.
BEFORE SCHOOL LIBRARY
Do you have trouble finding time to hear children read at night?
Would you like to have a great array of good books to choose from when reading to your child?
Come along of a morning before school, from 8:30-8:50am, to the school library. This is an opportunity to sit and enjoy reading to your child in a relaxed environment, or to hear your child read.
If you have an older primary aged child, please encourage them to come along to the library as a helper to read to younger children.
We look forward to seeing you one morning in the library.
