Follow Literacy Readiness

Young children benefit first from rich language, conversations, read alouds, songs, stories, meaningful print, and opportunities to explore books. Sight word practice can be introduced when children show interest and developmental readiness rather than being treated as a required skill for every young child.

Teaching Ideas

Make Words Meaningful

Children benefit when words are connected to books, conversations, names, classroom experiences, and meaningful reasons to read and write.

01

Start With Meaning

Introduce words within familiar books, classroom routines, children's names, and language that already has meaning for them.

02

Use Repeated Exposure

Seeing a familiar word in different meaningful contexts can help children notice and remember it over time.

03

Play With Words

Matching, sorting, hunting for words, and simple games can make literacy practice active rather than repetitive.

04

Connect Reading and Writing

Give children opportunities to use familiar words in drawings, labels, messages, captions, and meaningful classroom writing.
