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

Ask your child to choose a topic (such as an animal) and write a factual sentence about it. Your child will need to use their writing strategies such as :stretching out the sounds, finger spaces, magic 100 Words and drawing a relevant picture. 

For example: Cows are an animal. They live on farms and have 4 legs.
