Supporting your child’s Literacy development at home

Taking part in your child’s literacy experiences at home can help to develop his/her reading ability, comprehension, and language skills.  It could also improve your child’s interest in and attitude to reading and writing. Some activities to engage in:

• reading together
• storytelling
• sharing nursery rhymes
• labelling objects
• singing, drawing and telling stories
• playing word games, e.g. Scrabble, Boggle, Crosswords, Word Finds
• asking questions before, during and after reading
• making lists
• writing cards and letters
