Remember when you were a child and reading was like stepping into an adventure
written just for you? When we read with children, every story is an exciting and fun learning
opportunity that feeds their minds and opens up the world around them. Key research
indicates that the number of books in a child’s home is a major predictor of future reading
ability, and reading with a young child sets the stage for future success.
Research shows that children learn more in their first eight years than they do the rest
of their lives. This is a critical time to teach them to be readers and writers. It is very powerful
when a parent sits down and reads a story, allowing children to paint pictures in their minds
about what is happening.
Nursery rhymes help teach children awareness of language. They can be used to teach
musical awareness and help with memory. Kindergarten students should focus on language
activities at school and at home that develop listening and expressive skills, which include the
following:
Listening to stories and poems
Telling and retelling stories
Reading and reciting nursery rhymes
Singing and chanting
Discussing word meanings, ideas, books, and experiences
Making predictions about words and stories
Children should be read to daily using books with predictable patterns, repetition, and
rhyme. A lot of traditional rhymes, such as Jack and Jill and Humpty Dumpty are repetitious and
allow children to memorize basic structures and patterns in language. Some websites that are
good tools for children and parents include the following:
bemboszoo.com
funschool.kaboose.com
pbskids.org
childfun.com
familyfun.go.com
kidsdomain.com
funbrain.com
Recuerdas cuando eras un niño/a y leer era como una aventura para usted? Cuando
leemos con niños, cada cuento es divertido y es una oportunidad para que abran su mente al
mundo alrededor. Las investigaciones han demostrado que el número de libros que hay en la
casa en una parte significa la capacidad que un estudiante puede leer, y leer con un niño para
que tenga más éxito en el futuro.
