Writing tips
The most effective writing practice at home is when a child writes for a purpose and receives feedback through praise and modelling. Here are some examples:

• Child writes on post-its to family members about wants and needs. E.g. Can we go to Potters Park today and wear togs, even though it's freezing!
• Family member writes back E.g. That's a great idea. You have a choice of Potters park or Rocket Park. Which is the best in your opinion?
• Write an email together to a friend, family member or the teacher.
• Write captions to photos/drawings from a fun time. Put it on the fridge or bring it in to school for news.
• Make a card for an elderly neighbour or relative.
