JoJo these are great tips on how to keep a child engaged and learn communication from an early age. Since you shared these tips with me, I would like to share a few more I learned along the way on how to teach my kids to read, what worked and what didn’t. :)
When I first taught my children to read, I used a method of phonics, but quickly realized this worked for my eldest but not my youngest. She didn’t grasp reading. So after trial and error I began to realize she was a visual learner who needed both elements to learn to read. She only became successful in learning after the sound and visual were combined. And now she is reading at a higher grade level than her fellow students.
I have seen a huge improvement, and suggest for anyone whose kid is struggling with reading to try using both sound and visual to help their kid overcome it too.

So glad you all enjoyed it. I actually wrote this for The Old Schoolhouse Magazine years ago. Or a version of it anyway.

Great article! Can’t wait to do these activities with my son.

Wow, this is great. I really like the suggestions, finish the story and impromptu speech. I think both allow children to use their creativeness as well as think quickly on their feet. These skills are so important and if learned at a younger age can be honed as children mature.
This also helps kids to form opinions and articulate their responses. I find so many people do not do this well. In fact, if oral speech is improved the natural progression is an improvement in written work. I’ve seen it happen with my own children.
