What Literacy Skills Should Preschoolers Know?

Preschoolers are sponges! They soak up the world around them and are constantly learning more and more everyday!

Through reading books and simple alphabet activities, your little learner can gain so much knowledge and strengthen their literacy skills!

The following are some skills you can work on with your preschoolers to help them be successful when the time comes for them to learn how to read:

• Concepts of Print (How do books work? We read words from left to right and top to bottom! When we finish a page we turn it and go to the words at the top of the next page! Illustrations help tell the story!)
• Story Structure (stories have a beginning, middle, and end)
• Letter Recognition (the ability to identify upper and lowercase letters)
• Letter Sounds (the sounds associated with each letter)
• Simple Sight Words (words that commonly appear in stories that little ones can memorize to help with reading fluency)

How To Teach Letter Recognition to Preschoolers:

Repetition is key when it comes to letter recognition!

The more exposure little ones have to letters the better!

That’s why preschool letter recognition printables and digital activities like this one are so beneficial! They provide plenty of opportunities for little ones to practice their letters!

Interactive and hands on activities will make learning letters more memorable for students! Play alphabet games and sing songs about letters to help little learners better remember!

Use your little ones knowledge of shapes to your advantage when teaching uppercase and lowercase letters! (For example, the capital A has a triangle in it, and the letter O is a circle, etc…)

Keep your little learner interested by switching up activities when they start to lose interest or get bored!

Setting up alphabet centers for preschool using a variety of different activities (tactile experience with a sensory bin, letter match games for kids, digital activities like this one, etc…) can help keep children interested and engaged in learning!

Finally, one of the best and easiest things you can do to help your little one with letter recognition skills is READING books with them!
