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)  UMake eye contact with your baby and speak in a warm and soothing voice while changing a diaper or feeding or bathing. Tell your baby what you are doing. Watch for their response and say something back to continue the “conversation."

Toddlers (2-3) Talk to toddlers to help them learn to speak and understand the meaning of words. Point to objects that are near and describe them as you play and do daily activities together.

Preschoolers (4-5)  Play “I Spy.” Describe something you see and have your child guess what it is. “I see something red that has four wheels. What is it?” Give many clues and help them to guess the object.
