[quote=Anonymous]While reading whole books is great, since your child is in preschool, I’d focus on schools that have a strong emphasis on phonics in their reading instruction. This needs to be systematic explicit instruction in phonics, where the kids are given decodable texts (books that they can sound out), and be taught to sound out unfamiliar words. The label “phonics” can be applied to significantly different approaches to instruction, with significantly different outcomes. This article describes the different approaches to teaching phonics: https://www.readingrockets.org/topics/phonics-and-decoding/articles/phonics-instruction[/quote]
