Kindergarten pre-reading tips:

1) Pick a "letter of the day" and hunt for it in storybooks, magazines, license plates, or signs. 2) Play word games. Take turns making up silly sentences using rhyming words. Teach your child tongue twisters. 3) Ask your child to help find items in the grocery store. Give store coupons to your child. Ask him/her to help you find the objects by matching pictures and words. 4) Read together. Choose books with simple sentences, rhyming words, or repeated phrases. Reread favorite stories asking your child to fill in his favorite parts. 5) Learn nursery rhymes and jump-rope rhymes. children who can rhyme are more successful at learning to read.
