A Brief History of… FS2
workshops
Reading with your
child
First Words
• Let your finger do the walking – pointing to each word helps them understand the concepts of words and sentences
• Don’t forget the pictures – reading pictures develops their understanding of stories and humour
• Use initial sounds when able – be patient and don’t worry some children do just memorise texts in the early stages

group
Writing
Developing young writers
Write in sentences
Use finger spaces
Use their phonic knowledge in their writing
Use relevant letters
Use random letters in their “writing”
Make marks that have meaning (for them) “I’m writing”
Talk about the marks that they have made
Make marks with crayons, brushes or other tools
Encourage him/her to use capital letters and punctuation
Encourage him/her to re-read writing as they write it
Encourage your child to segment words into sounds when writing
Notice and praise when s/he uses appropriate letters
Continue to practise sounds and letters at home
Help your child to recognise and write their name. Give them opportunities to write eg shopping list, a message
Look at signs and symbols and talk about what they mean. Distinguish between pictures & writing
Talk about what the marks mean, give them lots of mark making equipment
