SanTan FAMILY FUN READING READING First steps, 12 to 18 months
Read longer stories to children and allow them to interact with the book, pointing, turning pages or even turning the book upside-down. Name objects as the child points.
Sing and give characters of books funny voices. Offer opportunities for discrimination. Talk about the stop light; e.g., red circles mean “stop,” green circles mean “go.”
Play with objects that are similar and point out the differences; e.g., cow versus horse, blankets with subtle pattern differences.
Make noises. Imitate cars, animals and eating sounds during play.
Speak to children in a normal tone to demonstrate accurate sound recognition. Enunciate words of interest like M-M-Mommy. As syllables start to represent words, such as “juice” and “more,” expand upon them; e.g., “apple juice,” “Would you like more apple juice?”
Toddler, 18 months to 3 years Read everything: signs, labels, toys and children’s names.
Take cues from a child – interested, not interested, read or just look at the pictures, read more or stop before the end of the story? Sing and give characters of books funny voices. Find and point out shapes and symbols in the home or community.

Recite rhymes and alliterations; pause to allow children to fill in the last word or phrase. Play games such as Candyland, where symbols lead to action; e.g., two orange squares on the card means to move two orange spaces.
Preschool, 3 to 4 years
Read words and point to each one as it’s read, moving your finger from left to right, top to bottom.
While grocery shopping, ask children to find an item that starts with a certain letter or find a particular cereal. Have these items on the grocery list for comparison.
While in the park, ask children to bring you nature items one at a time. Write the word for each item and then write a story with the words. Show children speech in the written form. Ask them what they would like to buy at the grocery store and add it to the list together; write notes to Dad or make “to do” lists.
Pre-kindergarten, age 4 and older Read with children. Take turns reading pages, modeling intonation and punctuation cues. Make up silly rhymes and alliterations. Play “Going on a Hike.” Start by picking a letter and saying. “I’m going on a hike and in my back pack I have a ...” Take turns repeating the sentence, naming the previously listed words and adding new word that starts with the chosen letter each time.
Help children cut large letters from old magazines. Talk about words that begin with each of these letters.
Ask children get something in the pantry they would not recognize by sight; provide the beginning letter sound of the item and ask them to search for it by reading the letters. While driving, ask children to help find a particular street sign.
