Pre-schoolers

1. Pre-schoolers will like many of the same books as toddlers.
2. If a child is asking for a book, keep reading it – the familiarity of a favourite story will delight the pre-schooler.
3. Alphabet books are great for the pre-schooler as he or she will start to associate the shape and identification of letters.
4. Choose books with illustrations that you can ask the pre-schooler about as the pre-schooler’s language is developing rapidly.
5. Pre-schoolers love predictable stories.
6. Choose books with text that helps pre-schoolers understand what the print tells them.
7. Make a book with your child. Pre-schoolers love to hear family stories told to photographs or drawings with a few key words on each page.
