I also very happily use technology to help support the preschooler. “D” being the sound of the letter not the name. You can see full details on how we play it here, but in short you choose a small number of objects and once the preschooler can name all the items correctly you can start the game by saying “I spy with my little eye, something beginning with D”. The first game I have played with all our preschoolers has been the “I Spy” game. The first thing I learnt was not to teach preschoolers the name of the letters of the alphabet, but the sound. Our eldest child attended a Montessori kindergarten and I was lucky to learn a great deal about early literacy from his teachers. My support of literacy for this age, is based upon games and an introduction to phonics. To make it a little easier for you to follow I have broken it into stages. It is the reality of how I try my best to support five kids at differing levels with their literacy. I am not writing this to say that this is what everyone should do nor that is even best practice.
This is the stuff beyond reading to them daily, talking to them, pointing out letters, signs etc. I was pleased to have a number of experts contribute to the series, but for today’s post I wanted to share what I do at home with our kids to support their literacy.
