Our Ready to Read Skill: Print Awareness (Using Books)
Print Awareness means noticing print, knowing how to handle a book and knowing how to follow the words on a page. Some great ways to practice this skill with your child include letting your child hold the book and showing them which way to turn the page, using your finger to follow along with the text on the page, and pointing out words and letters on signs when you are out and about. Books we used this week that highlight the use of text are Maggie's Ball, where the shape of the text mimics the ball's movements, and The Pigeon Wants a Puppy, which uses bubbles to show all of the pigeon's dialogue. If you are worried that your child is too young to use books without tearing the pages, try using cloth or board books that are more durable. Don't forget that the library has books that are sturdy enough for all ages!
