Get Every Child Ready to Read!

  • Narrative Skills: Encourage your child to describe things and events in books. Help them to pretend and be a storyteller.
  • Letter Knowledge: Show your child that letters are different from each other, they have different names and sounds.
  • Print Awareness: Help your child to notice print everywhere. Help them to hold a book, turn pages, and follow the words on a page.
  • Vocabulary: Teach your child the specific names of things. What kind of vegetable, what kind of dog, what kind of flower, etc.
  • Print Motivation: Find books with pictures and words that appeal to your child. Pictures with children, moveable, texture, bright colors, etc.
  • Phonological Awareness: Help your child hear the smaller sounds in words. Through songs, rhymes, and games, help them break down the words.
