READ: Calgary Public Library Growing Readers PSA SeriesThe Calgary Public Library developed a series of commercials to promote the five behaviours essential to developing language and pre-reading skills: talking, singing, reading, writing, and playing.
Reading together is the most important thing you can do to help your child learn to read on their own, and you can read with your child anywhere. Children who are read to are more likely to want to learn to read themselves, paving the way for future reading achievement.

WRITE: Calgary Public Library Growing Readers PSA SeriesThe Calgary Public Library developed a series of commercials to promote the five behaviours essential to developing language and pre-reading skills: talking, singing, reading, writing, and playing.
Reading and writing go together. Children become aware that printed letters represent spoken words. As they scribble and draw, they practice hand-eye coordination and develop the fine motor control that they will need to write letters and words.

SING: Calgary Public Library Growing Readers PSA SeriesThe Calgary Public Library developed a series of commercials to promote the five behaviours essential to developing language and pre-reading skills: talking, singing, reading, writing, and playing.
Singing slows down language so that children pay attention to the rhythms and rhymes of spoken words. Singing helps children break down words so that they can hear the individual sounds and syllables. Singing to babies and young children helps them learn words and develop their listening skills.

Talking to babies and young children is the best way to help them learn words. Ask your child questions, listen to what they say, and respond back -- even if what your little one says is just babble. Help your child connect words with ideas. Use lots of different words. The more words your child hears, the more they'll understand when they speak and read.
