Let's face the facts, reading is the single biggest academic skill for young children to master.
In fact, as a teacher I can share with you that a child who can read is one that will succeed. But this is a huge skill for little ones to master! How can we, as parent's make it easier for our children?
Did you know that rhyming success in preschoolers is an excellent predictor of reading success in grade one?
Or that learning to segment and blend letter sounds is far more important for reading than learning letter names?
If you didn't, you are not alone.
As a Kindergarten teacher I want to give you the skills and activities and playful games that will set your child up for a lifetime of success.
Young children who are strong readers have been shown to have stronger self-esteems and higher self-confidence levels. Why? Because reading is such a focused on skill in early school years!
It is incredible how quickly a child will learn to read when the proper foundation is set.
