Writing:
There are lots your child can do with the pictures below...
Talk about the question together, write a sentence about it, write a story about it.
Ask them to follow our writing structure: build your sentence, say it (lots of times!), count the words, write it, check it.
If your child is used to using them, encourage them to add finger spaces, capital letters and full stops.
If your child is writing a story, encourage them to use key narrative words: once upon a time/one day/one night, first, next, then, after, finally, happily ever after.

Talking pictures: talking is the most important part of literacy!
Find a picture that your child likes the look of on this website: https://www.onceuponapicture.co.uk/
If you click on the picture, there are some questions underneath it.
Talk about it together. Discuss some of the questions, ask your own questions, or create a story about the picture.
The children get really excited when we do this at school. It is fantastic for their vocabulary, imagination and understanding. There are so many possibilities...
