Once your child has listened to, and watched the story many times help them to make a story map. A story map is simple pictures and words putting the story in order so that they can read and retell the story again and again.
Can your child draw a picture of their favourite character from the story?
They might like you to help them to write the names of the different animals from the story. Perhaps they could have a go at writing the words themselves. You could write for them or how about making a video of your child telling the story. Your child could draw a picture of the little red hen, or one of the animals from the story. Send in your pictures and videos to [email protected] – we would love to see them and put some on the website for others to see.
