Spark your child’s imagination and interest in reading and creative writing.

  • Cut out a picture from a magazine and ask your child to make up a story about it.
  • As they tell their tale, write it down.
  • Display it along with the picture somewhere they can see it. They will want you to read their story again and again and may even start to identify some of the words themselves.
