Almost anything you do with your child will help develop their literacy.

Playing and helping you with tasks in the home develops your child’s movement and coordination, which will help with their handwriting. They can make marks and draw pictures to show their ideas.

The most important thing you can do with your child is to share and enjoy stories, songs and rhymes together.
