Suggestions for helping your child:
Practise your child’s sounds every day. It is important that they
know their sounds extremely well so keep going over them. Try to
make it fun for them by playing games with the letters.
Remember to still read books to your child. Let them pick their
favourite story or take them to the library to choose some books.
Encourage your child to look for the sounds and numbers they are
learning in the world around them.
Use any objects you have in the house to help with counting e.g.
coins, buttons, cutlery, pens, pencils, toys.
