Developing Literacy In Playgroup
Last week, the children in Playgroup had a lot of fun with letters and words. The children experimented with different writing implements and practised scribing markings, pictures, words and even sentences on different surfaces.
If your child is showing signs of writing readiness or interest in writing letters or words using playful materials, you can encourage them to copy the words they’ve created with a variety of interesting writing materials – whiteboards, markers, special pens, crayon resist, rainbow writing, chalk, typing on the computer etc.
Learning the English language can be tricky, and it’s helpful for parents to understand the process of how early reading and writing happens. It will come naturally for some children, and may take a little longer for others, but it is truly magical when you see that penny drop and your child begins reading and writing independently.
