Start With Literacy
Activities for parents
and children by
Ros Bayley & Lynn Broadbent
Good literacy skills are vital
for success at school - but often the most important
foundations are laid outside the classroom. This book
tells parents and carers of three-to-seven year olds
all they need to know about how to give children the
best possible start in literacy. Packed with exciting
games and activities, it shows:
why parental
support makes such a difference
how to help a child become a
good communicator
ways to encourage listening skills
how to develop literacy through music
and movement
the benefits of reading
to children and telling stories
what ‘phonics’ is
all about
how to help children acquire
the range of skills involved in learning to write.
Flying Start with Literacy illustrates how to use
simple everyday situations as powerful ways to support literacy
learning. It also suggests helpful resources and lists the
best websites for additional information and advice.
