The preschool staff is excited to announce the Preschool 20 Book Reading Challenge. Students will be reading books at home and then filling out snowballs with the names of the books they read to cover a giant snowman in the SEL preschool hallway. Research indicates that children of all ages need to be exposed to literature on a daily basis. Reading to your child provides an emotional bond, which will be remembered for a lifetime. Reading not only informs and explains, it also entertains. As you read to your child, they will begin to develop pre-reading skills including holding a book correctly, turning pages in the right direction and reading from left to right and top to bottom. This is also a way to build a solid foundation and encourage a lifelong love of reading. More helpful information about pre-reading success is available online.
