Make the most of everyday conversations to develop your child's thinking and learning skills.

Asking open questions is a great way of developing your child's thinking and language skills. Open questions encourage children to think more about what they are going to say; to give more detail, express their thoughts and offer opinions.

Reading out loud to students doesn't need to stop once they've become independent readers. The practice benefits students of all ages.

The amount of talk that children hear and participate in is hugely important for their development. The number of words heard by children from different socio economic backgrounds is estimated to be around 30 million words in their first three years. aft.org/sites/default/…

"Language provides the foundation of thinking and learning and should be prioritised". Couldn't have put it better. Keep talking!

Everyday conversations with your child can develop thinking and learning skills by using these techniques. Ask how to join by messaging Catherine on 07507 709637.
