Helping your child read and write at home will improve their skills and confidence— it will also better equip(装备)them for learning in the classroom environment.
Reading and writing skills are needed by every child in every subject in every year of their school life and outside school. As parents, you can play an important role in improving your children's literacy(读写能力) by practicing reading, writing, spelling and speaking with them outside school. This kit(工具箱) includes a number of tips on how to help your child to read, write and spell, such as:
*reading aloud each night
*reading your child's writing
*trying not to ask questions that require a “yes” or “no" answer
*practicing reading and writing by writing letters, or emails.
