Subject Based e.g. English

“I will expose Josh to a wide range of texts through a daily shared reading routine and audio books. We’ll supplement our own books with a library selection each fortnight. We’ll take part in library activities and author talks that appeal. I have purchased alphabet and word posters for our walls and intend to label items in the house with Josh as a literacy exercise. Further reading opportunities will be provided in everyday activities of shopping, cooking, board games and computer use. Josh enjoys imaginative play and I will scribe for him, so his stories become an enjoyable reading experience where the words are easier to decipher because he already knows the story.”
