43. 10 Tips To Prepare Your Child For Preschool is old enough for preschool, he knows a lot about language, because of all the timeyour family has spent listening, talking, reading, and writing with him. http://www.smarterkids.com/rescenter/library/articles/10_tips_preschool.asp

April 10, 2003 10 Tips to Prepare Your Child for Preschool You are your child’s first teacher. As a father, mother, or other family member you begin teaching your newborn about language as you welcome him into the world with smiles and caring words. By responding to your child's coos, babbles, early words, and simple sentences, you encourage him to learn. By reading to your child, you encourage him to read and write. Thus by the time your child is old enough for preschool, he knows a lot about language, because of all the time your family has spent listening, talking, reading, and writing with him. Below are 10 tips to help you teach your child. Talk with and listen to your child as you play and do daily activities together. Read with your child at a regular time every day and whenever he asks you. Take toddlers and preschoolers to the library. Let them choose books to read at home. Create a special place in your home where your child can read and write. Keep books and other reading materials where your child can reach them. Add a new book at least every month. Keep writing materials such as washable, nontoxic crayons and markers, paints and brushes, and different kinds of paper where your child can reach them.

52. Emergent Reading And Writing Connection ~ English Language Arts ~ Project Better has been whether reading or writing skills develop curricula emphasizing socalledreading “readiness” activities in preschool and kindergarten http://www.mdk12.org/practices/good_instruction/projectbetter/elangarts/ela-97-9

Teachers who understand that reading and writing often develop simultaneously help children refine their emerging literacy skills within a meaningful context. While children probably recognize that reading and writing are distinct behaviors, their understandings may be fuzzy. As they construct a schema for written communication, they are reaching toward greater understanding and competence. Teachers encourage this growth when they ask children to put their names on their work, write a sentence about a drawing, read a word in a language experience chart, add a comment to a letter to parents, read a classroom label or sign, read (meaning, retell) a familiar story, or engage in similar activities that build on literacy play. In so doing, teachers are telling their students that they trust and welcome Donald Graves Butler, A., and Turbill, J. (1984). Towards a reading-writing classroom .

Quality Preschool What is Quality Preschool Education? What is Accreditation and Why is it Important? Brain Development What Does the Research Say? ... How Can I Find Quality Child Care in My Area? Brain Development: From the Beginning Research provides proof that a child’s interactions and experiences in the first few years of life have a large impact on social, emotional, intellectual and language development. Babies are born with 100 billion brain cells, called neurons, virtually all of the brain cells they will ever have. The neurons are not yet connected into networks as they will be when the brain is mature. As babies respond to experiences in their world of home, family, and caregivers, their brain cells form networks that give them the capacity to think and learn. Connections are made as brain cells send signals to and receive input from each other. A single cell can connect with a s many as 15,000 other cells, creating the brain’s circuitry. As babies respond to touch, taste, smell, voices, sights, new connections are formed. Children first learn to listen and speak, then use these and other skills to explore reading and writing. Like child development in general, language development is interrelated. Children who have many opportunities to listen and speak tend to become skilled readers. Children who are read to often, learn to love reading and become better listeners, speakers, and writers.

ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: Maehr, Jane Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early Childhood Education Urbana IL. Encouraging Young Children's Writing. ERIC Digest. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC Many educators and parents assume that young children must progress through a sequence of clearly defined skill areas to acquire listening, speaking, reading, and, finally, writing facility. As a result, young children often are not encouraged to write until they have learned how to read and have mastered the mechanics of writing (grammar, capitalization, punctuation). Recent studies in emergent literacythe early stages of learning to write and readhave shown that young children compose before they know much about the conventions of writing and reading or have the skill to control the formation of letters. As young children gradually realize the usefulness of writingeven unconventional writingthey are encouraged to develop related literacy skills. HIGH/SCOPE'S APPROACH TO EMERGENT LITERACY A developmental approach to literacy emphasizes the gradual emergence of skills in all areas of language rather than the end results of this process: formal skills in speaking, reading, and writing. Such a developmental approach is used by the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation in Ypsilanti, Michigan. High/Scope curriculum developers and teaching adults recognize that preschoolers and kindergartners have plenty of ideas and enjoy composing and reading their compositions.

Preschool In preschool we focus on developing German language skills. Our curriculum is taught primarily in German. The students acquire and develop their lan- guage skills through various engaging activities. We learn by engaging our five senses and through reading, storytelling, singing, art, music and play. We believe that this is how children learn best. Children will mostly speak English with each other during play and recess. For children who are not native English speakers, the English language is gradually introduced through stories and other activities and celebrations of holidays and field trips. Regular daily activities include learning and talking about our environment: the weather, the seasons of the year, exploring plants and animals and sharing all these experiences with each other. Pre-reading, pre-writing, pre-science and pre-math skills are introduced in a structured yet playful manner. We use hands-on materials to help children understand basic mathematical concepts. In science we cultivate plants and watch caterpillars turn into butterflies. Reading is complemented by story telling and acting out scenes in which children will use their imagination and creativity. Outdoor activities are an important part of our day. We allow free and quiet times to help children develop self-awareness and a capacity for self-
