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) Make up a songs with your babies name in the song, such as Pat -A-Cake.
Toddlers (2-3) At the end of the day, you may feel exhausted and your child is fussy. Lie down on the floor surrounded by books. Play a book on tape for your toddler. Sing a song together while you try to relax together.
Preschoolers (4-5) Encourage your child to retell parts of the story. For example, read Curious George. Ask, “what happened after Curious George took the balloons?” “Then, what happened?” “What did the man with the yellow hat say?” “What do the pictures tell you about that?” Then, ask them to see if the pictures can help them guess what might happen next.
