  • Ask your child lots of ‘what’ questions and point to the pictures. What can you see? What’s the koala doing? Repeat back your child’s response and add to it.
  • Give your child plenty of praise. Don't make it a lesson. Children learn from just having you read and talk to them.
  • Encourage them to use their imagination and add to the number of words they know.
  • Start introducing letters and pointing to the first letter of their name when it appears in a word.
  • As always, have fun and read aloud to your child every day.
