READING FACTS: 4 Early Language and literacy (reading and writing) development begins in the first three years of life and is closely linked to a child's earliest experiences with books, stories, and interaction with people. 4 A child’s success in learning to read is affected more by reading related experiences that a child has BEFORE entering school than the reading related experiences a child has AFTER he/she enters school. 4 Early literacy develops in real life settings through interactions with literacy materials and people. –Signs –Directions of food / labels / recipes / toys –Newspaper –Books

Most Importantly: 4 Children who are READ to REGULARLY are better readers.  If a child can SEE other people read, they will learn that READING is IMPORTANT! 4 3 guarantees to improve language, raise a reader, and learn in school. –READ, SING, and TALK with them

Handwriting

Child’s Name 4 TAKE THE TIME AND EFFORT TO LEARN HOW TO SPELL THE CHILD’S NAME CORRECTLY! 4 ALWAYS CONFIRM THE SPELLING OF A NAME UNTIL YOU HAVE IT MEMORIZED!

PRE-WRITING Activities  Two skills are needed before a child can successfully write manuscript: Small muscle coordination Hand-eye coordination

SMALL MUSCLE Activities:  Any activities where the child is using their fingers will help to develop these small muscles.  Needed to hold a pencil and make basic strokes  Some examples of activities are: Puzzles - building blocks, play dough, clay, rubber stamps, magnet letters, small cars and trucks, crayons, etc.

EYE-HAND Coordination  This allows the child’s hand to react to what the eye sees.  These activities will help the child to develop writing skills: Drawing, tracing, cutting, painting, pasting, finger paints, typing (key boards) lacing cards, stringing items, etc.

 As a child begins to use drawings to represent different ideas, they are beginning to write.  Straight lines and circles begin to represent items in their lives.

Make writing & letters FUN!  The majority of preschool children lack the small muscle control and eye-hand coordination, at first, for traditional writing methods.  Provide a variety of ABC activities for the children.  Early Writing/ABC activities: Without holding a pencil Sensory letter activities Games, songs, books Label on items Word and letter recognition in familiar names and signs

MANUSCRIPT WRITING 4 ZANER BLOSER 4 First they learn curved and straight lines 4 Second they learn round letters (O, C) and curved letters (S, D). 4 Curved letters that have intersections (B, R) 4 Letters with diagonal lines (K, X) and horizontal lines (L, H)  litoadcefgjqusbhprnvywkxz Letters made with lines and circles are easiest
