Make It Fun!
Preschoolers can tell stories, have a conversation, and scribble their name. Research
suggests some children may not have the early learning experiences they need to
become successful readers. Many activities can support early reading and writing
skills.

Of all these activities, reading out loud is the most important. This can be as easy as
five minutes at a time. Little snippets of reading turn into 20 minutes before you know
it. Use activities and play that are of interest to the child. Are they into toy cars? If
so, how about reading the car ads together? Don’t worry if your young child becomes
distracted when you’re reading or if you don’t get through a whole book. Follow the
child’s lead—encourage, and stop when the child’s attention shifts.

Experiment with different types of reading materials to see what is of interest. The
process of learning to read involves many different complex skills. Preschoolers learn
best when they are doing something that is important and fun to them.
