Reading to your child is the very best way to support them at home. By hearing you read stories, non-fiction books and poems, they will hear a good model of how to read and they will soak up all the techniques authors use to make their writing amazing. This will help your child to be both a better reader and a better writer. Research has shown that children who hear stories and talk to others often, have a much greater chance of achieving well in school and this in turn improves their life chances.
