Getting your child ready for school begins long before preschool. It begins at birth from the first parent/child connections. Research has shown that the first six years of life are critically important for brain development, a time when the windows of opportunity for learning are wide open and ready to receive input. But how much they learn at this special time depends on us the parents as we are their first teachers and we can really make a difference were it counts the most. Any moment can be a learning moment and children learn more when they have fun. One of the best ways to prepare your child is to create a positive learning environment in your home. This can be achieved by taking the time to share activities with your child, by encouraging them to observe, create, think and express her thoughts clearly.
Reading aloud to your children builds the foundation for later reading success. It helps them to understand the connection between the spoken word and the written word and paves the way for their understanding of the connection between letters and sounds-the building blocks of reading.As you read, use lots of expression take on different voices for different characters. Release the inner actor.
