Early Literacy: Sing
Singing is one of the best ways for children to learn language.
Change tables can be a great place to incorporate some of the practices that support early literacy learning, such as talking, singing, and playing.
There are lots of things to worry about when you are a new parent, but you don’t have to worry about how to get your child started on their literacy journey! If you have a new baby, we have a Books for BC Babies bag for you.
Today we’re going to share one of our favourite secret weapons for developing language skills: rhymes.
For this week’s Literacy at Home we have some more songs for 0-2s for you! There are five practices that support early literacy: talking, singing, reading, writing, and playing. Singing is one of our favourites!
We’re back with another simple activity that you can use at home with your children to help support the development of their early literacy skills!
Singing is a great tool for language development because it slows down the rhythm of our speech – helping children really hear the sounds of our language! It can also help introduce new concepts to your child, or to smooth your way through any rough patches in your day. Also it’s just plain fun – no matter what kind of singing voice you have!
