Literacy and LearningWhat does the research say?“The single most important activity for building
these understandings and skills essential to reading success appears to be reading aloud to children.”
(Wells 1985;Bus, Van Ijzendoorn &Pellegrini 1995)“A central goal during these preschool years is to
enhance children’s exposure to and concepts about print”
(Clay 1979, 1991:Holdaway 1979;Teale 1984;Stanovich &West 1989)

attention span is one on one time with the child.
One on one time is essential to teaching the concept of books, puppies or flowers etc (Trelease, 2001)

Literacy and LearningProblems and Solutions:I am short on time- Try to find just 5
minutes to sit down and read with your child. Make it a part of his/her bedtime routine or while they are in the bathtub .
My child won’t sit still- Choose short books and build up the amount of time, pick a time when they are tired, have them sit in your lap.
My child tears the books- Use board books.Any others?
