- Letter Recognition: Helping children identify and name letters, starting with those in their own name.
Letter Sounds: Associating letters with their corresponding sounds to build phonemic awareness.
Book Handling Skills: Teaching kids how to hold a book, turn pages, and follow along while reading.
Listening and Comprehension: Encouraging children to listen to stories and understand basic narratives.
Routine and Independence: Establishing daily reading habits and fostering self-help skills.
