Courses : Language and literacy Parenting Class
An 8 week programme designed to support the parents of children who are 0-3 around language and the early stages of literacy skills (reading and drawing, playing with books, crayons and paper). The aim is to nurture children’s love of learning and create happy experiences.
Early language and literacy development begins in the first three years of life and is closely linked with a child’s earliest experiences of books and stories. These early experiences with language, books, paper, crayons and drawing are the building blocks for language, reading and writing development.
This relatively new understanding of early literacy development complements the current research supporting the critical role of early experiences in shaping brain development.
