SEASON'S READINGS



It's that time of the year again when family is knitted together with love, the perfect time to share things like books together as a family.

To foster a love for reading in children- you need to be a good role model, sneak ten minutes of reading into your day. Take a story time break and regale your children with stories you heard as a child- this will give you and your children ample bonding time.

Christmas is filled with stories, you can illustrate one with your child/children all you need are some crayons and plenty of paper.

You and your child can read aloud recipe's as you prepare to bake your Christmas cake.

Red, Green and Gold are the colours of the season, make a Christmas decoration using these colours/ paint a picture using these colours.

If you have any family traditions- take out time to explain them to your children- talking is an integral aspect of getting to read especially for toddlers and preschoolers/

Buy books as gifts for your children, let them read about our different cultures celebrate Christmas. Books will open up a new perspective on the season for your child.

Encourage your child to be creative and let he/she tell/paint/write you a christmas story, you can either record the story and play it for your family next Christmas or you can frame the painting/bind the writing and share it with your family next Christmas.


The season is all about love- make it a memorable one for your children.
