Enjoy this week's Tips4Kids, Wissahickon School District's literacy tips that are tailored to specific age groups to help your child(ren) learn to love reading and develop a solid foundation to come to Kindergarten ready to learn and grow. 

Babies (0-1)  Use your child’s native language when you talk, read, write, play and sing. This will create a strong sense of self. You and your baby will build a solid foundation of basic language concepts.

Toddlers (2-3) Show your toddler the words by running your finger along the words as you read them.  This helps children learn that the words on the page help convey the story in a book.

Preschoolers (4-5)  Read a favorite picture book with your child.  Read the first page, and stop to ask questions about what was read.  Do this for the next several pages.
