Webinar - Getting ready to read: preparing your preschooler for reading and writing

Literacy development starts early in life and is usually connected with school achievement. Even before a child starts school, there are many things that parents and guardians can do at home to help prepare young children for their reading and writing journey. In this webinar, Dr. Sandra Jack-Malik will discuss a few common concerns and provide examples of activities parents and guardians can do with their preschoolers and early elementary students. From playing games, singing songs, and listening to their favourite story being read, this session will look at how you can add activities that will address a few key skills such as oral language, knowing the sounds and the related alphabet symbols, and knowledge of print.
