How to Teach Preschool Reading

Preschool is a time for teaching pre-reading skills. Most children at this age really
aren't developmentally ready to learn to read but you can get them ready by teaching
them pre-reading skills and techniques. If your desire is to raise a child with a love of
learning and a love of books, there are wonderful ways to teach your preschooler
about reading.

 Read to your child every day--this cannot be emphasized enough. Children who
have a lot of experience with books prior to entering kindergarten do better in school.
Be sure your child has time to enjoy the illustrations. Talk about what your child see
happening in the pictures. This is a great way to build vocabulary, learn to make
predictions and to make connections between the book and your child's own life
experiences.

 2

Encourage your child to retell the story. It's okay to help him out with hints if he
forgets major portions of the story. If he gets out of sequence, ask him if it happened
before or after other events. learning to retell a story in sequence is a vital pre-
reading skill.

 3

Let your child fill in familiar phrases in favorite books. He will be delighted to finish
the sentence for you as you read together.

 4

Encourage your child to tell grandparents or a favorite relative about the story he
read.

 5

Ask your child to retell the stories he has heard in preschool. Ask clarifying questions
if the story is unclear.

 6

Praise your child for any art work he brings home and encourage him to tell you
about the picture. Ask questions that will require him to think about the message he
wanted to convey with his picture. Ask who, what, when, and where questions.

 7

Point out familiar letters and words on signs or in stores when you are shopping.
Challenge your child to find other words or letters. You may be surprised at how
many he will spot.
 8

Purchase magnetic letters fro him to play with. Once he has learned them, challenge
him to put them in the proper order.Teach him to write his name with the letters. If he
asks, you can show him how to write other words too.

 9

Set a good example and let your child see you reading for pleasure. He is more likely
to want to learn to read if he sees it as something that you enjoy.

 10

Let your child see you writing on a daily basis. Make a game of writing a grocery list
or a list of his favorite movies. Let him dictate stories to you as you write the words
for him. Read the story back to him so he understands that you have written the
exact words he has spoken.

How to Easily Teach Preschool Reading

Preschool reading can be easy for young kids to learn, and a joyful skill to have. It
shouldn't be forced, but since young children are natural absorbers, you can use
various methods to get preschoolers interested in learning to read while at the same
time you're teaching them preschool reading. This eHow article shows how to make
young kids want to read while simultaneously learning preschool reading

 Show them young role models. Nothing encourages preschool reading like
wanting to imitate other kids who are doing it. Obtain the DVD of Super Why which
shows a group of friends using libraries and their books to solve problems, and then
turning into superheroes who use their newfound book information to perform heroic
deeds. Either purchase it or check it out at your local library. Preschool reading is
learned and well as encouraged with this DVD.

 2

Read classic rhyming books like Dr. Seuss aloud with your kids. Have a regular
evening bedtime story ritual with classic children's poetry and rhyming books. Rhyme
"wires" young brains for reading and they're naturally attracted to it. If you're a
preschool teacher or homeschooling parent, set aside time for rhyme. This is a time-
honored way to teach preschool reading in a pleasant, natural, way. As children
begin to memorize the rhymes, stop at the last word of each rhyme, point to the
word, and have your preschooler read it herself. She'll love the thrill.

 3

Use read-aloud books especially meant to teach preschool reading. Go to usborne-


books.com and look for their beginning readers, preschool phonics books with
internet sound links, and "dual readers." Usborne has taught preschool reading via
its books for many years. Just choose a few books and follow their guidelines. The
dual readers brilliantly have two segments of text on each page. Short simple first
sentences can be read by preschoolers while a longer sentence below can be read
by parents, until the preschooler advances to the higher level at the bottom.
