Area Tested: Concepts About Print
Concepts of Print - your child is asked a series of questions about a book
Where is the front of a book? Where is the back of a book? Where would you begin reading? (locating the beginning of a sentence) Point to the first word in the sentence. Where would you stop reading? (locating the end of a sentence) Once you finish this page, where would you go next?
Activities to strengthen concepts of print:
1. Read, read, read! Ask questions about what you are reading.
2. Exposure to all kinds of print - books, magazines, comics, newspapers, print is everywhere!
3. Ask your child to re-tell a story they've heard several times
4. Predict what will happen in a story by looking at the pictures first
5. Point to each word as you read it aloud
