How to choose books for your preschooler

4/16/2013

Often parents ask the teachers at Pinewoods Montessori in Hillsborough, NC for reading recommendations for early readers. Here are some general thoughts on creating a welcoming home library that will help your preschool age child blossom into passionate learner and enthusiastic reader.

Provide a mixture of levels. It’s a good idea to keep three types of books on your shelves: Books that are at your child's current reading level (if he or she does not yet read, use picture and word books), books that are just beyond your child's current reading level, and books that are more difficult that you can read aloud.

Look for books about real things. Pictures and name labels for infants and toddlers work beautifully, children who are ready to read or just starting enjoy short descriptive books about such topics as the natural world, children in other countries, or things with wheels.

The books you read aloud can range in topic from poems and rhymes to history and and the solar system.

Follow the child. Try not to tell your child to put a book back because it is too hard or won’t be interesting. If either is the case, your child won't read it. But you might just be surprised. Trial and error needs to be encouraged, because we want to help nurture intellectual creativity and the ability to think outside the box.
