@Kristie Thanks for the link. I’ll have to check that out! I’m always on the hunt.

@Bonnie Too funny! Magazines and other environmental print are great ways for preschoolers to start recognizing words!

I can’t share a website off hand but I do want to share my little story about learning to read. My 4 yr old is an avid “reader”. He has always loved text and has taken to reading with ease. At the moment, he also has an obsession with a certain train called Thomas, and his little friends. So my 4 yr old has a toy catalogue for said train in the bathroom which he studies every time he sits on the toilet. Through attempting to read the captions and labels in the catalogue, he is giving himself a reading lesson every day.

And so I remind myself that any text that motivates a child to read is worth while. Think outside the box (beyond the couch and beyond the great literary finds!).
