Here are some early literacy skills and how to include them in your story time.
- Make reading fun: Use funny voices and gestures.
- Choose stories that are not too long and appropriate for your child's age.
- Phonological awareness: Make rhymes and songs. Make the sound of the animal, automobiles, and any other things. Clap out words to emphasize syllables.
- Print Awareness: Run your finger under the text to show what you are reading. Show how to handle the book and demonstrate how to read.
- Vocabulary: Don't be afraid to introduce new words and build their vocabulary
- Narrative Skills: Make reading interactive by asking questions and discussing. Have them retell the story to you.
Make a game of it to build these early literacy skills. Here are some fun game ideas that you can play anywhere.
I hope to see you at our book fair. They will have books for all ages and interest.
