We get the knife and the fork.

So we're gifting them vocab all the time.

If you're looking at concepts of print, it's great.

If you're reading and modelling, you're pointing.

So you're pointing.

Oh, that's the start.

And we sweep this way.

And actually, I'm not making up a story.

I might make up a story elsewhere, but I'm actually reading.

So these words actually are what we're reading.

If they want to write their name, you're not going to say, oh, no, you can't do that because you're not five yet and you're not at school.

Let them write their name.

Fantastic.

Show it to them, but do it correctly because capital letter at the beginning and then all lowercase.

Capital letters are so much easier.

So parents will sometimes write the capital letters there, and then when kids have transitioned to school –

We've had incidents where a teacher had their name written up there and the child said, that is not my name because it didn't look the same.

Good on them, visual perception, fantastic.

It wasn't their name because they had an E and an E and so they'd put capital E's at both places.

So I'm just saying, parents, if you can and they really want to write their name, model it correctly.
