Get ready to read: preschoolers (4 to 6 years old)
Keep focus on having fun with words and stories. A healthy vocabulary will help your child understand what they are reading once they start sounding out letters.
Take out a few books and says, “which one should we read first?” letting him/her be the “book boss” helps him/her feel like he/she has a say in the activity.
Research shows having a larger vocabulary in the first grade leads to greater reading achievement.
Teach your child how to find and check out books.
Spotting them helps your child see how vital reading is in daily life.
The next time you go grocery shopping, point out words on your list (“milk”) and on the item when you find it.
When your preschooler is ready to learn alphabet, help him/her to link between letters and objects. You might pull out magnetic letters B, D and F, along with a stuffed bear, a duck, and a frog, and see if your child can figure out which magnet goes with each animal.
Ask your child to tell you a story, then write down on several piece of paper. Staple them together along one edge, and have them to illustrate each page.
