Is your child a good communicator?
Having good communication and language skills is vital for developing essential skills, and it particularly supports early reading and writing skills. Please see the ‘Happy Talk’ leaflet.
Singing is one way to support early communication and research indicates that a child who has committed eight nursery rhymes to heart by the time he is four years old will be more likely to be an accelerated reader.
With this in mind, we have uploaded a CD for you to enjoy with your child at home. We encourage you to sing the songs together so that when your child starts they are already on the path to being a good reader. We also sing them in school which we have found really helps the children to settle as it is something familiar to them.
