Week 4: Supporting Literacy and Math development!!

There are many things you can do to support your child's development in literacy and math. Mathematical inference just like literacy helps build on naive awareness. When your child reaches 14 and 16 months old, toddlers show an understanding about ordinality. By age three in a half to four, maximum children can count all the way up to ten, and in the right order and the meaning of the numbers, they also grasp the meaning of cardinality. To help your child with math I would suggest to get food and count out each one by separating them into piles. You can also count out each bite he or she takes, count how many fingers and toes he or she has, give the child a book that has numbers in it and tells a story as you go. There are many ways to help your child in math it depends on you and your child and how they are able to learn. To support your child's development in early child literacy you should; provide literacy-rich home and preschool environment, engage in interactive book reading, provide outings to libraries, museums, Parks, zoos, and other group and education settings, point out letters, sound resemblance, play a rhyming and other language sound-games, also read rhyming poems and stories, recommend that the children writes, most of all the narrative products, and model literacy activity's. Because above time children's language and literacy advance simplify on another.
