A child can practise writing in many different ways. Writing a label for an object, or the name of a street, can give the child practice in using the correct vocabulary and spelling. Answer any questions the child has. If possible, provide a pencil or pen, a large piece of paper, scissors, glue, and some advertising flyers for these activities. If possible, provide a dictionary to help with the spelling of new words.
Different classes study topics in different sequences.
These activities, therefore, may not be directly related to what your child was doing most recently at school. Other activities may include topics your child has already covered. By being aware of these possibilities, parents can avoid frustrating a child by expecting skills that the child hasn't yet learned, or spending too much time on skills that the child has mastered. If your child has special learning needs, these activities may not be suitable. Parents who are familiar with the modifications their child requires may wish to adapt the activities.
