Encourage him or her to read the same book even for the 100th time! Surveys show that repeated readings help children develop language skills.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pre-school concepts we learn naturally:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Categorization:<\/strong> We take various small or large objects found while walking in the countryside e.g. stones, leaves, shells, sticks, etc., and divide them into groups-categories according to a characteristic such as size, colour, property<\/li>\n<li><strong>Matching one by one:<\/strong> This means that we must match each object with another one e.g. each stone with one person. So let them share a stone with each member in the group.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pattern-Sequence:<\/strong> Build an easy, repetitive array of objects such as stone-shell-sand and let the child repeat it in exactly the same way. Help with questions if it is difficult, for example, \u2018Whose turn is it after the stone?\u2019<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ordering:<\/strong> Here we have to order a series of objects according to the size that we have chosen e.g. leaves from the smallest to the biggest, stones from the lightest to the heaviest, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Help your child to love and cultivate literacy!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Let your child use writing tools such as pencils, markers, pieces of chalk and crayons. Collect and organize these materials, along with some paper, in a box which your child can decorate as they wish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Show your child that written words are a part of everyday life. From grocery lists and emails, to billboards and store signs, writing is everywhere!<\/li>\n<li>Encourage your child to write what they think their favourite stories say or create imaginary tales together, illustrating the story and writing the dialogues.<\/li>\n<li>Let your child write words on the computer and show them how to print them!<\/li>\n<li>Label your child&#8217;s belongings and let him write titles and names on their own!<\/li>\n<li>Write your supermarket or greengrocer\u2019s shopping list with your child!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;39425&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; full_width=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]A child&#8217;s early years are important for them to develop a love for books and the process of reading.
