A new website – www.helpmykidlearn.ie – for parents and guardians – gives ideas for activities that parents can do with their children to improve their child’s speaking, reading, writing and maths skills. www.helpmykidlearn.ie mixes the old with the new – from card games and hopscotch that help practice maths, to e-books that can be read out to the child and “Apps” you can download to a smart phone. Information is broken down into 5 age groups: 0-2 years, 3-4 years, 5-7 years, 8-9 years and 10-12 years. Activities are organised into 5 main areas: Talk, Play, Read, Write and Count. There are links to other websites, and audio and video content. This website was developed as part of the Department of Education’s National Strategy to Improve Literacy and Numeracy among Children and Young people.
