Welcome to Pre K Learning!
Talk Together
Speaking and listening are to reading and writing what
walking is to running. Children who do not have a large and flowing
vocabulary will have difficulty with every aspect of reading and
writing. It is most important at this early stage of your child’s
development for you to take advantage of the natural opportunities
for learning that come up daily. For example, talk frequently with your
child, helping him or her develop vocabulary for school. Encourage
your child to express his or her feelings and ideas. Respond to his or
her interest and excitement in learning new things, and praise your
child for specific and correct answers. Talking together with an adult
heightens a child’s self-esteem while also improving his or her ability
to express himself.
