You have young preschool children. You think ahead to when they will begin school, and wonder what you might do to make it easy for your children to learn to read. This article offers some hints for parents and caregivers about learning to read: (1) Reading can begin at birth; (2) When reading aloud to an infant, make the experience a warm, loving one; (3) Re-read favorite books; (4) Encourage children to join in; (5) Encourage children to think beyond the text; and (6) Talk about the title. Parents and caregivers may also take advantage of a nearby public library. Public libraries usually have extensive, up-to-date collections, and the library staff are very informed about books. They can check with them about appropriate books to borrow for particular ages. Moreover, parents and caregivers can talk about any environmental print they see when out in the local community with their child. When children have been read aloud to in the preschool years, they enter school knowing so much about reading. (Contains 3 online resources.)
