Books:

The preschool years are a wonderful time to share the joy of reading with your child. Try to read to them twenty minutes a day. I have included bookmarks to help promote this.
Getting ready to read is more than just knowing the alphabet. You can enhance Early Literacy development by reading aloud to your child, talking, listening, singing and using creative dramatics. You are the greatest teacher for your preschooler because you know your child better than anyone else.

The Polar Bear Went Over the Iceberg
(Tune: For He’s A Jolly Good Fellow)
The polar bear went over the iceberg,
The polar bear went over the iceberg,
The polar bear went over the iceberg,
To see what he could see,
To see what he could see,
To see what he could see!
Was the other side of the iceberg,

Was all that he could see,

The other side of the sea,
The other side of the sea,
Was all that he could see!

He shouldn’t wear glasses.
Was all that he could see!
