The most important preparation we can give to our youngest learners is the advancement of their oral language. Activities during which preschoolers interact with peers and adults to experiment and to solve problems build communicative skills. The opportunity to hear, examine, and manipulate reading and writing materials excites the interest in their use long before children can read and write.
Check into the National Association for the Education of Young Children to read the latest research about how preschoolers learn, and what we can learn to help them.
And always--read, read, read.
