Is it important for parents and early childhood educators to be involved in helping their preschool children to learn pre-reading skills? Yes it is!

By playing and having fun, parents can cover all the pre-reading skills their children need for a successful start to reading and writing when they go to school. There is no need for any formal teaching at the pre-school level.

Parents need to know what and how to help their children with learning pre-reading skills. But, where do they go to find out?  

They can go to their child's early childhood teacher for guidance.
