December`s You Ask the Question
[ 01 Dec 2008]
An Early Years Practitioner suggests
- Choose a quiet time and a comfortable place
- Choose a short, familiar story to begin with
- Use books with colourful pictures and only a little text to start with
- Encourage your child to join in by using books with popups or flaps
- Be prepared to end the story when they lose interest
Try giving them a new book for Christmas to spark their interest. For suggestions of books to choose download the booklet in the Talk Play and Have Fun Together section of this website.
