14 BEFORE I CAN READ BOOK SUGGESTIONS


Children at this stage understand that writing conveys a message. They can - over time - retell a story when looking at pages of a favorite book. They can name letters od the alphabet, recognize some signs, and perhaps print their own name. They acquire new skills by being read to.
