๐National Literacy Day - 8th September 2026 ๐
Language and communication skills unlock literacy - talking to your children from a young age about things they come across in everyday life, helps them develop their language and communication skills.
Books are great when talking to your child. When reading a story, you don't have to read them word for word - see what pictures they take an interest in and repeat the things they say, make plenty of noises and get animated (Link to video with dad)
