What is next after learning the skills?

These are some suggestions you can do with your child:

1. Use your family outings photo and get your child to write a story about it.
Describe WHAT you did, WHERE you went, WHEN did you go, HOW you feel and WHY you went to the place. This is a narrative or descriptive text.

2. Take photos of a procedure done at home, e.g. when you are cooking/sewing/cleaning the house/baking etc. Then have your child to record the steps of the activity. This is a procedure
text.

3. Download some photos (e.g. a river, wild life in Africa, children dashing across the roads etc) /cliparts from the internet and have your child to describe the emotions, size, shape, or his/her reflections when he/she sees the graphic.
