How to support your child at home, in a way that makes sense!

Important point, as a teacher I know for a fact that the best progress comes from hands on experiences…Therefore, why not educate your child in a way that makes sense?

Give your child time to explore the kitchen. Ask them to help you make dinner. What ingredients do we need? Can you write them down? Check the child’s handwriting and then ask them to reform any letters that are incorrectly formed. Then ask them to follow the instructions to help you make dinner. While doing this… why not talk to your child about what they want to learn? Suggestions below…

*Make their own menu for the week (think about different food types)

*Setting the table

*Design some new pictures for the house

*Gardening

*Practical maths involving toys.

*Reading books

*Becoming an author

*Make some playdoh

To help engage and motivate your child….Ask them to think about what they want to find out over the next week.

If doing any writing, make sure the child is writing for a purpose!
