We would love to see photos of your work.

Reading to your child on a regular basis is vital. Children need lots of opportunities to listen to and join in with stories. They can also practise their pre-phonics skills, such as, identifying rhyming words, identifying words that start with the same sound, following the text along with you as you read, orally blending simple words (e.g. if you say c-a-t and your child blends the sounds to say the word 'cat') and finding familiar letters. 

If you are short of books at home the sites below offers free E-Books for parents. You just need to register an email address to access the free resources.
