 Before a child starts learning to read, you can introduce them to reading by pointing at words as you say them aloud. So as the child is watching, you can place your finger under the words and drag it from left to right as you're reading. For example, you could do this activity when you're reading a book to them. You could say, it was Kitten's first full move, or you could do this activity reading a card to them. Five little candles shining on your cake. This simple activity will help introduce the child to the idea that written words represent spoken words and that we read from left to right. Thank you.
