 Hello and welcome to Rehab at Home from Adele. In this series we will show you some simple activities you can do at home to help your child with their listening and speaking. Today Matthew and his mum are making a paper monkey while learning the concept of first and next. Talking about sequences is important to build your child's early mathematical, pre-literacy and problem-solving skills. Let's see them in action. First we're going to do the arms and next we're going to do the hands. So where are the hands? Wrong hand. Hand. Okay, so shall we stick the arms on first? Yeah. Mum see. Okay. We'll do the tail next. First we need to do his hands and then we'll do the tail. Mum hold. And now we can do his tail. Matthew's mum spent a lot of time describing what they were going to do. She used sentences like first we need to do his hands and then we'll do the tail. This helps your child to learn how to follow instructions and describe sequences of events. A skilled children need in order to tell stories in the correct sequence and later read and write their own stories. Best of all you can use this technique with almost any craft activity.
