Do you enjoy reading? Do you readnewspapers or magazines? Chances are, if you do any of these activities, yourpre-school child is on his way to becoming a reader.

The process of learning to readis complex, and one of the most important things to know is that parents canhelp their children learn to read. As children have conversations with adults,they hear both new and familiar words and their vocabulary grows.

There are many opportunities foradults and children to talk together, such as when riding in the car or in abus, doing housework like fixing dinner, or bathing and getting ready for bed.A major part of conversation is listening. When children talk, adults listenand respond. Then children listen and respond, and so the flow of conversationhappens.

Have you watched you pre-schoolchild pretend to read to his younger sisters or brothers? Have you read hisfavorite story over and over? These experiences tell children that reading isfun. And when things are fun and they are repeated, your child will seeletters. He begins to connect them to familiar words, especially the lettersthat make up his name. A natural next step for him to take is to write theletters.

When children see parents make agrocery list, they want to use a pencil and paper to make their own list. Toencourage these beginning writing activities, have pencils, markers, crayonsand scrap paper within your children’s reach.

The more children get connectedwith talking, listening, reading and writing, the easier it is for them tobecome active readers. While you as a parent have a big influence on theseearly behaviors, it is important to remember that opportunities for literacyexperiences happen when you and your child share in the basic routines（日常生活）of everyday life.
