I really should be ticking some bookish tasks off my list - but what I did instead, was potter in my garden.

We’ve been extending our raised organic veggie garden beds. My veggies are in the actual garden bed and flowers are along the front to hopefully attract bees and beneficial insects.

Our veggie garden has expanded dramatically since the release of I’d Rather Eat Chocolate. If I’m going to inspire children to grow their own veggies, I better lead by example!

People might think it’s weird that our veggie gardens are out the front, but that’s where we have space. Do you have a veggie garden at your house? Is it front or back?

Picture books provide sooooo many benefits, one of which is developing your child’s language.

Expand and extend your child’s responses to story-time questions.
Expanding sentences = adding in the grammar. Eg Child says ‘Boy riding’, you can respond with ‘Yes! The boy is riding’
Extending sentences = adding in additional information. Eg child says ‘Boy riding’ and you respond with ‘Yes! The boy is riding his skateboard’

Do you prefer to expand or extend your child’s sentences?

Children love my interactive workshops and I have sessions that suit right up to Year 6 which are perfect for Book Week.

Can you believe I’m already taking bookings for next year?

There is enormous value in asking your child open-ended questions when reading.

For example ‘Do you like chocolate? (uhmmmm yes of course đŸ€Ł) is a closed question simply requiring a yes/no answer.

But if you ask an open-ended question, you’ll open up a conversation. For example, ‘Why do you like chocolate?’

We don’t want to bombard our children with questions while reading as we want to allow the story to flow and for children to bask in the pure enjoyment of reading, however when we want to engage and interact with the story content, questions are the answer!

Was this only a few weeks ago??

The closer we get to Christmas, the faster the time is going!

Does anyone else feel like someone has hit the fast forward button on their life?

A great way to interact and engage your child with reading, is to relate the story or pictures to your child’s world.

You could ask questions such as ‘Do you remember when we
.’ to connect to your child’s memories.

Or you can open up a conversation with your child with something like ‘That reminds me of when
’

How do you like to connect stories to your child’s world?
