26Ten Week highlights families learning together
This year’s 26Ten Week theme is Family fun with letters and numbers. It highlights how families playing, singing and reading together supports children’s development of literacy and numeracy skills.
When parents, carers and other family members join children to read, sing, cook or play board games together, they’re fostering a love of learning.
Support is available for parents, carers and other family members who may need a little help with their own literacy and numeracy skills. Improving their own skills can increase their confidence and ability to support their children’s learning.
What better way to have Family fun with letters and numbers than to play games together!
Head into your local library for some family fun, and your own Snakes and Ladders board game!
Games are a fun way to learn together, as they:
- create time for playful family interactions between parents/carers and children
- help children learn about teamwork, taking turns and managing emotions
- build reading and writing skills
- make everyday maths fun
- help learn about thinking critically and solving problems.
