What will your child practise?
Match a picture and a message for a reader.
What you need
Half a sheet of card and coloured pencils.
Step by step
- Choose an animal and someone to write to. Draw one event on the front, such as a leaf landing on a hedgehog's nose.
- Ask what the hedgehog would say and write the child's own words on the back. An independent writer can add a greeting and two sentences.
- Swap cards. Ask the reader to find something in the picture that matches the message.
