Preschool Reading T.I.M.E.
Preschool reading? Most children only begin to read after they enter
grade one, so why should we begin 'reading' now?
The answer is simple:
In preschool, children learn the foundations for reading. This includes
letter
recognition, sound
recognition, and expanding their vocabulary. Needless to
say, children who begin elementary school with out the basic reading
skill, fall behind and face greater challenges during their school
careers.
The key to getting your child excited about reading is to make it fun. Do not let
your child feel like they are doing work. Work is BORING!!!
In order to simplify your life, I divided the games to three main
sections:
Rhyming
Games - Some simple ideas for rhyming activities. You can
also
check my section about Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes.
Vocabulary Games - Tips on how to
expand your child's vocabulary.
Letter
Recognition Games - Fun activities you can play with your
child
while teaching them their ABCs
Finally, in addition to these games and activities, it is essential
that you read to your child. I have a section
dedicated to the
importance of reading, with some
recommendations of my personal favorite children's
stories.
