Dear Parents,

Greetings!

Thank you for trusting us to create and develop a tool to teach young children the love for reading
through this book. I have been teaching for quite some time(more than 20 years) but the year I began
teaching preschool children was the year I discovered what a great opportunity preschool teachers have
to develop that solid foundation for the love of learning. I realized that preschool age was a time of
development wherein they can make the most gains. It can set the direction for the rest of their
educational experience.

This book has been especially designed for little children to love reading. Most would say that it would
be too early to have children learn to read at this age, and I would have to agree with you. When I began
teaching children to read in preschool, my goal for 3 year olds was 1: for them to appreciate stories read
to them by their parents and teachers, 2: for 3 year olds to respond to stories in a variety of ways, and
3: to prepare them to read with confidence by their ability to identify, distinguish, and combine letters
and their sounds! For children and reading experts, these are just a few processes and aspects of
reading!

In addition to our goal of teaching children to love to read, literary development begins prior to the
knowledge of the alphabet and formal reading instruction. Starting Out right: A Guide to Promoting
Children’s Reading Success, published by the National Research Council(1999) provides specific reading
recommendations from America’s leading researchers on how to help children become successful
readers. They recommend that a high quality preschool include many opportunities for language
development.(Karge and Dunnick, 2003)

In this book, the children will be introduced to many opportunities for literacy development. There will
be time for songs, poems and many predictable stories which include repetitive rhymes and rhythms for
children to enjoy. There will also be plenty of experiential activities for each day that not only targets
their literacy development, but also to develop their fine and gross motor skills. In addition to these,
activities are designed for interaction, which develop their social and communication skills. We also
want to them to know God. Stories and songs about God will definitely be included. Lastly, all of us
need to develop consistency and routines in our everyday activities, and to make sure that our young
children develop a sense of completion in all that they do.

Just to tell you about myself, I began teaching preschool children in 2006, but my experience in teaching
kids to read goes back in 1996 when I began working with children with exceptional needs. I realized
that teaching reading requires adults to aim high for their kids. We must believe that they CAN learn and
it begins with us adults setting high expectations. These high expectations require our commitment as
adults and parents. It requires time, effort, and discipline not only for our children but also for us
parents and teachers. These high expectations are like planting seeds in the garden that must be
nurtured, attended to, and provided with lots of tender loving care on a regular and consistent basis.

We will take it one day at a time and by the end of the school year, I can assure you that your child will
love reading AND learning!
