Literacy Tip:

New learning is built on prior knowledge.  Before reading a new book to your child, ask questions to assess their understanding of key concepts.  For example, in Crafty Llama, after introducing the title, discuss what it means to be crafty. Generate examples of crafty activities.  This way, the children have an idea of what is to come before the story starts.
