Every child is different and has their own pace of learning new things. When we talk about developing reading skills for\u00a0pre-K<\/a>, let\u2019s also consider the fact that expecting more can lead to frustration and thereby turn them off from developing interest in reading. Reading during after school care or after school programs, and at home, will certainly help. In this article, we go through some of the skills that your kids can develop at pre-k age to start reading.<\/p>\n

Get Your Kids Interested and Excited in Reading Books<\/strong><\/p>\n

Get your kids in the mood to read! There are several ways to go about this. First, make printouts that are readily visible to them. Like a shopping list, a food recipe, or even an email. Second, whatever you\u2019re reading, make it obvious that you\u2019re enjoying it! Third, read to your child each and every day, but do it in an upbeat yet natural manner. Fourth, let your child pick their own books from the book basket or library\u2014something that they\u2019d find interesting.<\/p>\n

Help Kids Learn How to Narrate<\/strong><\/p>\n

When your kids know how to narrate, this means they can retell stories and describe things, as they typically do in pre-K activities. In order to promote their narrating skills, you can indulge in pretend play. Have story telling sessions. Ask them open ended questions. Read repetitive books as this helps in developing the predictability skill.<\/p>\n

Allow Kids to Be Aware of What\u2019s on Print<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is what we call print awareness—being able to notice and understand the function of print, in that each word on a page means a word that can be spoken (such as pre-K sight words). Print awareness also means being able to handle a book, knowing where in the book you\u2019re reading, learning how to hold a book, and turning pages one at a time and in the right direction. Allow them to independently handle a book. While reading to them, point out the words as you go along. You can also point out familiar words when going out shopping or dinning.<\/p>\n

Build Kids\u2019 Vocabulary<\/strong><\/p>\n

In building pre-Ks\u2019 vocabulary, we simply help them to know how things are named and linking them to ideas, feelings, or objects. This also comes under the umbrella of oral language skills. What is important here is the linking. You do not need to put together flashcards. You can go about this through this process by reading books with a lot of pictures, use a wide range of words when you talk to your child. Make sure to tell them the meaning of unfamiliar and new words. Finally, ask your child to describe their objects or toys. Think about the right words so they can explain it.<\/p>\n

Let them Play with Individual Sounds<\/strong><\/p>\n

To increase their awareness of phonics, encourage them to say silly stuff, give them word riddles to figure out (like pre-K games), challenge your kid to alter the sound of a word in the beginning or at the end (for example, change fat to cat to sat, or cap to can to cat), and sing your child some fun nursery rhymes.<\/p>\n

Although these may seem like a lot of things that you need to do to get your kids reading, a good first step is to enroll them at one of the best pre-K school in Circa FishHawk FL, such as Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids Learning Academy. Located in\u00a0Circa\/FishHawk, FL<\/a>, the learning center is there to guide your kids through their beginning phases of reading!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
