I was AMAZED the other day when I was teaching one of my preschoolers in my preschool piano class. I was teaching her the notes to “It’s a Small World” I was having her name the notes to me which she was doing very well, but I was amazed that she also was reading the words to the song!!!. Here is a little 3 year old sounding out words already.

Now from what I understood reading and writing was introduced when a child is 5 or 6. She was 3. That got me thinking that we could be doing more for our preschoolers, teaching them to read and write. My daughter who’s 3 1/2 is VERY interested in her numbers and letters. She is trying to write them already.

THat got me searching for a good site out there that gives worksheets and ideas for reading and writing for a preschooler. I found the perfect site.

Check it out.

Enjoy.
