Unlocking the Literacy Arc: Nurturing Your Child's Growth with Arc at Home

Embarking on the literacy journey with your child is exciting. At Arc Pathway, we're here to guide you through the four key areas of the Literacy Arc, ensuring your child thrives in their development up to and beyond the moments they enjoy sharing a book with you, confidently pick up a pencil to draw or read their first sentence.

1. Little Hands, Big Skills – Tool Time! Help your child become a pro at using their fingers for daily tasks like buttons and shoes. As they grow, so does their ability to handle tools like pencils. Strengthening those hand muscles boosts confidence and independence, making life and learning a breeze!

Benefits: Independence and confidence for life's little victories.

2. Fun with Marks – Exploring Creativity! "I make marks and know what they mean!" Encourage your child to play with colours on paper, chalk on the floor, or water-paint on a wall. Easy-to-reach tools in bright colours spark excitement. When they see adults joining in, it's a creativity party that boosts brainpower and confidence.

Benefits: Happy creativity, boosted confidence, and a sense of well-being.

3. Book Love – Sharing Stories! "I have a favourite book!"

Benefits: Social skills, caring hearts, and a love for books.

4. Sound Adventures – Listening Skills! "I can hear and speak sounds in words."
