Make boardbooks available for your toddler to look at, turn pages, and talk about with you and others.

WHY IT MATTERS

Having regular routines where children can manipulate literacy objects (for example, books and writing tools) to develop literacy skills and explore literacy-related ideas

is helpful.

Children’s language and literacy abilities grow when there are opportunities to see, share, act, sing, classify, observe, make decisions, develop sequencing skills, recognise and understand relationships, read and tell stories and interact.
