These activities support and reinforce learning. Here are some offline activities that I have done with my boys on which I will not elaborate. There are many articles and personal blogs that detail how to support early literacy so I will not cover topics that most parents already know or can easily research online. Kai is now 4, and Kei is turning 3 I’d like to highlight a few resources (traditional and technology-based) that I used to get me where I am today. Most of the activities I did with Kai, I also did with my second child Kei, but I had the benefit of incorporating other strategies because they are, after all, different individuals. It also allows you to personalise your child’s lesson to sure they have fun and are appropriately challenged, Kai was our first child, and I experimented many different strategies with him. Working with your own child gives you so much more flexibility to speed up or slow down when there is a need to in their learning journey. I have taught kindergarten before: Following a school curriculum that assumes a child is at a certain level when they enter school is very different from supporting literacy at home. I read research papers, followed preschool/kindergarten teachers on Instagram, and look for ideas on Pinterest, all to get some inspirations and ways on how I could get started. My goal is not to ensure they learn to read before ‘everybody else’, but rather to build a strong foundation in reading and writing that will help them later on in life. Teaching literacy also happens be our passion, and we longed to share my passion with my kids. Long before Kai and Kei were born, my husband and I knew that we play an important role in fostering a love of reading and writing in our children.
