LITERACY

“A good book is an event in my life.” 
― Stendhal, The Red and the Black

Artful artists

Children love to be creative when it comes to drawing, and illustrations add visual imagery to stories.

What you'll need:

Drawing paper, Pens and pencils, Magic markers or crayons

What to do:

Find a fable, fairy tale, or other short story for your child to read. Then ask your child to illustrate a part of the story he or she likes best or describe a favourite character. Have the child dictate or write a few sentences that tell about this picture.
