Sending off a child to kindergarten is one of the most memorable moments for a parent. Kindergarten is the first step in a child’s education, and children go through much growth and development during this first year. This is why a preschooler must develop the critical skills they need to be successful in kindergarten.
Pre-Reading Skills
By the end of kindergarten, your child will be on their road to reading. This means that before they begin kindergarten, it is essential they have mastered their pre-reading skills. This includes:
-- Identifying all letters of the alphabet
-- Being able to say the sounds each letter makes
-- Knowing which way a book is held and that the pages turn from left to right
-- Identify some basic sight words, such as “the,” “no,” and “yes”
