Help your child get ready for school by Talking, Reading, and Singing every day. Sharing books with your child will help them build a foundation for learning by building their background knowledge, making them aware that printed words have meaning, expanding their vocabulary, and learning about shapes and letters, and the sounds each letter makes. All of these skills will help your child be ready to learn to read when they enter kindergarten.
