A parent asked me last week how to move their child forward with vocabulary, comprehension & English skills.
My answer?
Read to your child. Read with your child. Have fun. Do this every day- it will make a MASSIVE difference.
I’ve read regularly with all 3 of my children. I KNOW the difference it has made. All three have a fantastic vocabulary & great general knowledge. Reading opens new doors, it opens up conversations.
You don’t have to be a teacher. You don’t have to be educated to do this.
You do have to make it a regular activity.
I’m reading the David Walliams’ books with my 8 year old. Every night before he goes to sleep & he loves it.
This., of course, isn’t anything new, it isn’t rocket science. I’m not telling you something you haven’t heard before.
It’s in your hands.
