7 Story time Strategies for Learning Literacy

Most parents know that reading to your child for fifteen minutes every day is one of the most
important activities you can do with your preschooler to help her succeed in school. But what
you may not know are some of the secrets teachers use during story time to teach important
early literacy skills to their kids.

 Left to Right This may sound simple, but running your fingers under the words as you
read has many valuable lessons for young readers. The left to right and top to bottom
orientation fun alternative to just reading a book, give your child a specific letter to hunt
for on each page. Give her a magnifying glass and tell her she's a letter detective! Begin
with the letters in her name to pique her interest in the activity.

 Sight Word Search If your child's a little older; you can begin to help her recognize some
simple sight words in the English language are not natural to young children.

 Working with Words If your child is inquisitive; she may naturally ask the meaning of
words she doesn't recognize. Reading is a wonderful opportunity to expand your child’s
vocabulary as most picture books contain some words that your child may not know.

 Point Out Punctuation Although it's not necessary for her to know what an explanation
point, question mark or period is before she starts to read, being familiar with these
common punctuation marks will help her feel more comfortable in the world of print.

 Letter Hunt For a found in most books. The ten most common used words in the English
language (ranked by frequency) are: the, of, and, a, to, in, is, you, that, it. Give your little
one a head start at reading by helping her recognize these words in print. Write one
word on several mini self-stick notes and have her stick one on each page where she
finds the word.

 Make a Prediction Before you read a new book together, look at the cover and ask your
child what she thinks the story will be about. What gives her that idea? Read the title
and ask her if she still thinks her prediction is correct or if she wants to change it.

 Check for Comprehension After you have read a story for the first time, ask a few
questions to see how much she remembers and understood. If you ask a question she
can't answer, help her find the answer in the book, and then reread the page the
answer is found on. Good reading comprehension skills will serve her well as she begins
to read.
