It’s CHILDREN’S BOOK WEEK 2026!
Books are a wonderful way to build your child’s language, listening and early literacy skills while having fun together.
LISTEN
Read with expression and play with sounds, rhythm and rhyme.
JOIN IN
Make sound effects, finish repeated phrases, copy actions and point to pictures.
TALK
Balance questions with comments to create natural conversations about the story.
YOUR CHALLENGE
Choose one book and read it every day this week. Each time, notice something new, learn a new word and enjoy the story together.
Which book will be part of your family’s SYMPHONY OF STORIES?
