Teaching Preschoolers To Read

My son will be 4 years in June I read it at least once a week, usually over a week. He has lots and lots of books, he likes to look and act like he is reading. I was just wondering how to get it started playing. Also, do reading and writing come together or do I start reading and then move on to writing? Advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

start with the alphabet and the sounds the letters make. then move to small words like "the" or "cat". you read the story and when you arrive at this word, he reads it. add more words. help decipher words when he can recognize many of them by sight. reading is before writing. but as he learns to each letter, he can write for each practice using a pencil and small hand muscles. there are simple workbooks for sale at places like Wal Mart. These sites have ideas, too.

At 3 years, I would just continue to read aloud. Visit the library frequently. My dd and I would like to read books aloud together. I pause where there was a word she knew and she fields We have also started reading some of these players listed you can find in bookstores. They contain a lot of repetition and simple words. My daughter quickly started reading these books. I read a line, leave to read a line, etc.

The order of reading and writing will vary from child to child. From my experience, they often occur simultaneously. If interested in writing, certainly encouraged. Write his name, wrote a line or two to go with a photo, he wrote a letter to grandma, etc. often have to dictate a story to you and you write is a good experience that will help learn both writing and reading.

Let him try to write first; Curiously, often before reading. If you want to try a structured program, try to order the book the words of your spelling Way (name of the letter is the first bit). It goes to show you some ways to teach spelling patterns.
Regarding the reading I suggest you combine the teaching of a combination of words and the phonetics of view. Creating good bags paper bags --- objects and images that begin with certain sounds. Ask your son practice with them and then go on scavenger hunts to find more things that would fit in her bag. Practice recognizing the letters in the press, in all different fonts, uppercase and lowercase. Practice reading books really easy. At first, it will be to remember what is right --- you have to remember many words before reading to become fluid. My daughter loved the books of Bob that we obtained by Scholastic, but you can also try A to Z web reading program where you can print books. They even have other activities to try with it.

To expose your child to the written word is an important first step. Since you often, I'm sure you often repeat stories. Try hesitating or stopping at a certain word and ask your child to say the word. Point to the word that you have read, especially short stories.
Write stories with your child about people you've already read. For example, if you read "Brown Bear Brown Bear what do you see?" Take photos of family or friends, put a picture on each page. Then write the words on each page .. "Tommy, Tommy, do you see?" (Photos by Tommy on this page) Page 2 - "I see Susie looked at me. Susie, Susie, do you? "(Photo by Susie on this page) Page 3 - next person with the same name as different wording. The last page could have a family photo with all the people in it. While your child is more likely to remember it, but it will help to understand the concept of reading and be happy that he can read.

Print the environment would also be helpful. Clip pictures of familiar logos (McDonalds, Wal-Mart, M & M's, etc.)-a.
