Preschool Reading\/Writing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here is the curriculum for teaching reading\/writing to a preschooler that I followed, and it has helped my 4 year old get motivated to read, so I\u2019m hoping it may help another parent. Some of the worksheets listed refer to some other sites that I found very useful and these sheets can be used for preschooling at home, homeschooling, or just some prep before the kids start going to grade school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First I would start with sight words and phonics. Sight words are words that are frequently encountered while reading like \u2018the\u2019, \u2018a\u2019, \u2018I\u2019, \u2018you\u2019 and a bunch of other words. They are usually not words that you can easily sound out, so it\u2019s easy to just know the words by sight which comes by frequently reading the word and practicing writing. Here are some sight words printable sheets which I found useful to teach my kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sight word printables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The website k5learning has really useful worksheets in Math and English Language Arts for practice and test preparation. Fry’s 100 words and Dolch sight words are a good start for a list of sight words to go over every day with your child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding sight words<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These printable have some fun activities for preschoolers so that they can find the sight words in a bunch of letters or a bunch of words. My preschooler found these to be fun and enjoyed the activities, so your child might like them too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I couldn’t find many websites that have all of Fry\u2019s sight words<\/a> and most sites don\u2019t have a sentence incorporating the sight words, so I created my own sight words worksheets<\/a> which can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips for teaching<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\n

\n
• Don’t go too fast with short and long vowels or they get confused<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
• Focus on a couple of sight words every week and re-enforce<\/li>\n\n\n\n
• Try out fun workbooks for phonics especially for kids who like riddles (worked for my preschooler who loves rhymes and riddles)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
