Helping children learn about...Words and letters
Reading stories to children is one of the best ways to help them be ready for school. Reading stories to children helps them become interested in books, and eager to learn to read, themselves. They learn important things from having stories read to them, and they love the time you spend together. Show your child that there are things to be read everyplace.Reading stories to children teaches them... that words and ideas can be written down that marks on paper stand for the words we use, and the sounds we make and that these are written down using "letters." Things to do with stories. Whether you read stories to children, or tell them your own, there are some ways to do it that make it even more fun, and teach them even more. For example, you can get your child involved in the story. While you're reading the story to your child, stop and ask your child... why something happened,how it would feel if that happened, and what he/she thinks will happen next.

Sometimes parents try to teach their children to read and even write some letters of the alphabet before they go to Kindergarten.

Instructions or description of technique: Find a quiet space in your house to sit with your child. Read slowly from the story book for your child to understand. Be encouraging, help them sound out words, give clues to learn basic phonetic rules (e.g., 'ph' sounds like 'f'). Ask questions about the story. Is your child comprehending what they read (e.g., identifying the main character of the story and predicting what is going to happen)? Find children's magazines that have short, interesting articles that your child can read quickly. Supply a variety of reading options to excite the reading mind.
