Print Awareness Pointers
Print Awareness Pointers
Before a child learns how to read, he or she needs to know how print works. This skill is called Print Awareness. Children start developing print awareness as early as infancy and continue to develop this set of skills throughout early childhood. Children who have print awareness can hold a book correctly and turn pages in the right direction. Additionally, they understand that books are read from front to back and sentences are read from left to right. To help develop these skills, grown-ups can use their finger to track words, point to the parts of the book such as the front and back cover, the title and author. Grown-ups can also let their child hold the book, turn the pages and point to the words as you read to them. Children’s performance on print awareness tasks is a reliable predictor of their future reading success. Have fun reading with your child and make it a memorable experience!
Below you will find the link to some simple tips on developing these skills at home.
