Pre-Literacy With The Word Projector
Pre-literacy reading in preschool starts off with sounds and phonics. Next, is following along with the words in a book. Then off to handwriting and reading! So much fun for children to learn how to read. If your child knows how to read and write, they can make their own word projector. If not, you can write it on the plastic wrap. Better yet, start off with shapes before letters. Once the child notices the writing on the wall, ask them to spell it, pronounce it, or say the entire word aloud. The plastic wrap is easy enough to change so you can keep practicing words with your child.
