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) Read everyday with your baby. Choose books with bold colors, big pictures and sturdy pages. Being read to, like being spoken to, teaches your child how to think and listen to information.
Toddlers (2-3) For toddlers, you’ll want sturdy board books with pictures, especially photos of kids doing the thing they do everyday. Books about bedtime, baths, or mealtime are all good choices.
Preschoolers (4-5) Read to your child everyday. Let your child choose their own stories. Help them to choose stories that are a little longer than before. Your child can now learn to pay attention to these stories.
