The Babies, Books and Bonding Team of the NHCP is proud and excited to present the revision of our early literacy activity book geared towards age 4. The team has been dedicated to working on this revision over a period of 6 months. Revisions include additional activities such as recipes, phonological awareness, scavenger hunt, card games and more! This activity book is an additional resource that is provided along with a new book to children aged 4 while at their routine child health clinic appointment. The resource can also be used by caregivers as well as other early literacy professionals as a tool for teaching young children.
All of the activities in the book have been updated and additional activities have been added for more fun! The activities in the book are designed to foster and explore language between caregivers and their children, and are meant to be done together. This allows the caregiver to engage with their children and support their child’s early literacy development.
We recognize that every child learns at their own pace, so a wide range of activities for all different skill levels have been included. The activities are meant to be fun - remember that children are more likely to learn when having fun!
