Best Books for Preschoolersīrown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See? By Bill Martin Jr. One of my favorite things each year is to write down what my children have read each year. Plus make sure you download the free reading logs towards the bottom. I am sure you will discover something new on this list that your kids will love. This is an amazing list of some of the best books for preschoolers. Once you are finished reading, help your preschooler write back to their new pen pal.I love books! My kids love books and I hope that you love books too. Make sure the handwriting is clear and legible and that the words are easy to understand. Ask friends or relatives to send your preschooler cards and letters that you can read together.Eventually, your preschooler will absorb these words and be able to recognize them in books and on signs. Take index cards and label everything-the couch, the bathtub, the refrigerator, and so on. Let your preschooler know that everything has a word associated with it.Alternatively, you can cut individual letters out to make words. Together with your preschooler, cut out words you find. Pull out a bunch of old magazines and a pair of safety scissors.If you can, put it into book format with pictures. Write it down so you can read it back to them later. Ask your preschooler to tell you a story.Making a shopping list? Let your preschooler help by writing the words as you dictate the letters. Any time you see a word, whether it's on a passing sign or a cereal box, point it out and read it to your preschooler. Draw attention to the words your preschooler sees every day.When you talk about a story with your child, you're helping them build their vocabulary, and helping them to make sense of what is going on. Getting your child to think critically about a book, beyond what they have read on the page, is a great skill that will help them with comprehension down the line. Pause and ask your child what they think will happen next as you are reading a new book.Learning to read takes courage, and using books that offer repetition is a great way to help your child feel good about what they are doing. After a while, your child will likely become familiar with the story. When a child is able to recite a book (or most of one) word for word, it builds their confidence. Let your child fill in some blanks as you read books together.Repetition helps your child remember what comes next and lets them take an active role in your reading sessions. Read books that offer a lot of repeated lines and phrases.
