Talk Homework – Developing Language
These activities are designed to encourage meaningful conversations and shared learning experiences between parents and children, supporting the development of key language skills. By engaging in the talk homework, children can enhance their vocabulary, comprehension, and sequencing abilities.
Parents play a vital role in guiding their children through these activities, helping them express themselves clearly and confidently.
Through these interactive tasks, children will not only build their language skills but also develop a love for stories and a deeper understanding of how to communicate effectively.
