Talking Tip: Listen to your child when he/she
talks to you, and encourage child to discuss feelings, ideas,
or thoughts. Try to stimulate, and carry on a
conversation. Comment frequently on what you think your
child is feeling/thinking to encourage conversation. Use
longer, adult like speech with your 5-year old. They
will generally understand more than they can say. |

Talking Tip: Begin phonics work. Look
at letters and discuss what they sound like, and vice
versa. Discuss spelling of words, and sound of each
letter within the word. Break larger words into their
component parts (suffixes and prefixes). Discuss what
sounds/parts are "first, second, third, last". |
