Open the Newspaper....

What with all the wet weather we've been having it has given us the perfect excuse to stay indoors and read some books; by ourselves and with our children! The wet weather has also meant that we can read about water and rain (and puddles) and then go and splash about in them!

We also have some more stars - Samantha, Alesha and Angela and some of their kids - feature this week in "The REaD Spot" - wow!

As always, you can see this article for yourselves in the Rouse Hill-Stanhope News both online and in the paper version. This weeks article contains some information about early literacy and how to instill this in your child without having to "teach".

There are also the words for the action song Open, Shut Them (you can listen and see the actions by clicking on the song title) which is great, especially for younger children.

It is also great to do the actions to babies to assist with their brain and language development - as you know after reading these posts, literacy begins at birth!
