[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, as you and your preschooler are snuggle, reading the book, you should be pointing to the words with your finger.  This helps reinforce the Concept of Words so that the preschooler can begin to distinguish the words (words have a beginning and end, theyarenotabigoldslurrymess).

You can also do some choral reading where you say a sentence (a short one) and have your son then say it.  You should point to the words as you say them and have your son point to the words as he says them.  Just a few minutes of this is enough.  Reading shouldn't be 'work' at his age!  You want it to be fun!

Also, do some rhyming and word play with him.  Lots of Dr. Seuss so he gets the cadence and then riff from there.

Basically, though, read, read, read.  As you're walking down the street and see the big red sign stop and say, hey, what's that word ... you get the picture!  And, remember, as he is 'reading' it is okay if he makes mistakes.  Enjoy!  The preschool days pass so fast![/quote]

Yikes, skipped a step in choral reading ... You read, you both read together, then child reads.  Pointing away during all 3 iterations![/quote]
