Reading and writing

Reading and Writing

Reading with your children and listening to them read has benefits for their cognitive and emotional development. It builds language, empathy and increases knowledge of the world around them.

Writing gives children to ability to express who they are and engage with people in their world.

We recognise at White Ash we have a range of abilities in writing from those developing their pre-writing skills to those who are consolidating their sentence writing skills. This is also true for reading, with some learning phonetically and some by sight.

Take a look below for ideas to support reading and writing at home.
