Step 1: Pre-reading
These activities may not look like reading skills that you may expect to learn before reading, but are very necessary to become a reader. During this module, your child will learn rhymes, beginning sounds, and sound manipulation. Incorporate these activities into your daily routine as often as you can. Keep in mind that learning is not linear. Your child will go several days (or weeks) not knowing how to rhyme and then one day the switch will turn on and they will suddenly know how to. It is incredible to watch the process, so enjoy it and have fun!
