A child’s first important accomplishment in school is learning how to read. In particular, schools emphasize reading on grade level by third grade because it has proven a predictor of future academic success—even a predictor of high school graduation and college attendance. But half the years of a child’s life leading up to that crucial third-grade year are spent prior to school. Therefore, the preschool years are an important time for parents and caregivers to get children ready to read. We’ve designed Storytime-to-go to help you tap into the skills you already have and focus them in a way that maximizes your ability to get your children ready to read. First, we’ll show you five essential practices for reading readiness. Then we’ll show you the elements of a good storytime. Finally, we’ll give you the tools you need to construct your own storytime around one of 26 themes, with suggestions for books, songs, fingerplays, and activities.
