Fun Film Friday: Viewing & listening are great ways to learn! Watching shows together creates opportunities for conversations and questions, while increasing vocabulary & understanding of topics & skills. We learn facts or discuss characters & big ideas #CBELiteracy #WeAreCBE

Wonder Word Wednesday: Build a sense of wonder & excitement about vocabulary! It can be topic-specific by using words like ‘magma’ or ‘supernova’ or it can be precise language, like chilly, cold, freezing or frigid. And it can be done in all languages! #CBELiteracy #WeAreCBE

Talking Tuesday: Conversation is essential to literacy & critical thinking development. This is true regardless of the language spoken. Including talk during viewing, reading, writing & play. Curiosity & open-ended questions are key to deepen discussion. #CBELiteracy #WeAreCBE

Messaging Making Monday: Communicating through written messages is a gift we share with our children – writing is our thoughts made visible to others. This can be done through writing & drawing and is often most powerful when we intentionally combine them. #WeAreCBE #CBELiteracy
