Poems

Many educators now believe that children as young as three years of age can learn to recognize and read words. Your young child can learn to do so with this Early-Start Preschool Reader. Nine brief poems - about everyday things - make use of only 107 different words. These are repeated throughout the book, so that the child soon learns to recognize them and to understand their meaning. Read this book through with your child a few times. Answer any questions that he asks about the words in the poems. After two or three such readings, he will begin to show interest in reading the himself.
