Reading in Preschoolers

Preschoolers and kindergarteners are learning foundational skills to prepare them for reading. Playing with words, rhymes, tongue twisters, and syllables helps develop phonological awareness and prepares children for reading. Teachers can introduce these activities during reading, singing, or play. Developing phonological awareness and preventing reading issues is important, as struggles with these skills can be early signs of future reading problems. The more early reading skills are developed, the better prepared children will be to take on the challenge of reading.

How to make your preschoolers avid readers?

A child in the intial years of school is “LEARNING TO READ”


and in the later years the child is “READING TO LEARN”.
Every individual progresses from “Listening to Speaking to Reading and then to Writing”. All
preschoolers and kindergartens are shouldering a heavy responsibility of building a foundation upon
which the academic success of the child is largely dependent.

The more we build on these early “pre-reading” skills, the more prepared the child is ready to take
up the challenge of reading.

The following are few pointers that will increase a child’s possibility for having good reading skills.

1. Pre-K and kindergarten students can prepare for reading by playing with words,
rhymes,tongue twisters and syllables they hear in everyday speech. This is called
phonological awareness.

2. Parents and teachers can introduce phonological awareness during reading, singing or play
activities.

3. Teachers can develop and also prevent any possibility of any reading issues in children with
the above activities. Kids who struggle with these kinds of activities may be showing early
signs of reading issues.

4. Preschoolers and kindergartners get ready to read by noticing and playing with the words,
rhymes and syllables they hear in everyday speech.

For example, “Susie sold six salami sandwiches.” (Preschools usually include this type of
language play, songs, rhymes, and stories in their daily activities.)

Phonological awareness moves from noticing to doing. After kids recognize rhyming words,
they start to come up with rhymes on their own.
