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

As a family, create a narrative together. Discuss what each part of the narrative is going to be. The title, characters, setting, problem and solution. 

Together write your narrative.

You might even like to act out the narrative, or create puppets for your characters and act them out using materials you may have at home.
