GROWING READERS TIP- Giving Kids the Language to Succeed
A big vocabulary helps kids read, write, and talk. How do we help kids grow their vocabulary?
- Read, read, read. Books are filled with rich language that your child will absorb the more he/she interacts with books.
- Talk, talk, talk. Having conversations WITH your child gives him/her a chance to practice the vocabulary read and heard.
Take away: I can read and talk with my child to develop vocabulary.
Recently at school we had an assembly in honour of Black History Month. Our guest speakers reminded us that Black History is Canada’s History. We learned about the story of Africville. Here are some resources to help you to know more about what happened in this little town in Nova Scotia, and to discuss it with your children.
Enjoy these book lists for Black History Month as well!
