Have fun creating book covers so that they will last for years. Books aren't the only things your preschooler will love to read — magazines with lots of pictures also are enjoyable. And ask people your child loves to send letters, postcards, texts, or e-mails. Read these together and keep them in a special box where your child can look at them.
Read-aloud isn't the only time your child can spend with books — preschoolers love to choose and look at books on their own. Keep books in a basket on the floor or on a low shelf where your child can reach them easily and look at them alone.
Keep some books in the car and always have a few in your bag for long visits to the doctor or lines at the post office. And kids who have just given up naps can be encouraged to spend quiet time looking at books on their own.
Most important of all: Remember to let your child catch you reading for enjoyment. Turn off the TV, pull out a book, and curl up on the couch where your child can see you — and join you with his or her own favorite book.

They don't read by themselves, but if they've been read to a lot, they know a lot about reading, such as: Books are read from front to back.
Pictures should be right-side up. Reading is done from left to right. The language of books is different from spoken language. Words have different sounds in them. There are familiar and unfamiliar words. Stories have a beginning, a middle, and an end. Your child will learn that: Text are words written down. Letters in a specific order form a word. There are spaces between words. This information will help when kids start learning to read in school.
When and How to Read Many kids this age go to childcare centers or preschools. Other tips: Yes, read that book over and over again — and try not to sound bored. Your child is mastering many skills with each re-reading. I love this quote of Mem Fox from her book, Reading Magic. I want children ready to enter kindergarten with the necessary skills for success. Early literacy skills are certainly one, but also being able to be in a group setting, follow simple rules, and listening are key to school success as well.
All these elements can be found in storytime! Craft time comes after storytime. I love to reinforce the theme of the week, be it dogs, farm, fall, etc. I give an example of the craft, but I also tell them this is only an example and anything they create will be wonderful.
Fine motor skills are used: dexterity with using crayons and glue sticks, creativity is sparked by their imaginations, and pride at creating a piece of art all by themselves.
So with planning, storytime will certainly be fun as well as educational. Please ask at the children's desk, check out our events online , or give us a call for more info. I am so proud of each and every child that attends my storytime.
They do all I ask them to do, such as watching me and listening. They are all so very precious! I am so thankful for the opportunity to get to know them and their wonderful families. Thank you so much, Lawrence!! And some learning might be happening too!
Stories provide parents and carers with a structure to help them talk aloud to children and listen to their responses. It helps overcome adult inhibitions and provides topics for discussion. Reading together gives babies and young children the chance to respond. A gurgle in anticipation of a favourite story ending, or a smile of enjoyment, shows you that young children like to communicate and do so from a very young age.
Characters, words and sounds discovered through books can be talked about outside of reading time.
