A simple and fun idea to do with your child is to talk about your family tree. All you have to do is set aside the time to reminisce with your child. A part of learning to be a Phonics Reading Pro is learning the how to tell a story: the sequence, the imagery, the conclusion. You can start by telling some of your favorite stories about your childhood. Talk about school and your teachers and what some of your favorite lessons were. Hopefully some of them will involve learning about phonicsJ
You can tell them stories about what your parents and grandparents were like and the things you did with them. Can you remember stories they told about their childhood? Explaining history through your parents and grandparents lives can be a great way to explain historical events to your child because it makes them personal and not just something read in a text book. Don’t forget to whip out the family photos to make the stories that much richer!
As a final exercise you can help your child make new memories with your family by keeping journals on family vacations or other big events. They will build their phonics reading skills, writing skills, and storytelling skills all at once! How’s that for a great way to help your child become a Phonics Reading Pro?
