The rhythm and the rhymes present in these tunes help little ones pick up on the different sounds and syllables in each word. This, in turn, helps children learn to sound out words when they\u2019re reading.&nbsp;Let the singing and rhyming begin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"read\">2.

In addition, bonding with your child over stories is a wonderful way to cultivate a love of reading that will last a lifetime!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And remember: especially as your children get older, you&#8217;re not just limited to storybooks or reading together at bedtime. For instance, you could try newspapers over breakfast, or comic books after dinner. Pouring over books of fascinating facts together, like <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/childrens-presents\/factopia\" target=\"_blank\">this fun Factopia one<\/a>, can also be another great way to bond as a family (and to test your general knowledge!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"games\">3.

Make it a point to play word games at home and on-the-go. Whip out the Scrabble board, do crosswords as a family, and play road-trip games in the car (spotting certain words on signs, for instance, or spelling words from car number plate letters). The possibilities are truly endless and endlessly entertaining!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"env\">4.
