Creative Ways To Prepare Your Child For Kindergarten!

She has a very strong grasp of the letters and their sounds and is able to work her way through sounding out some words. She is very excited to be able to look at a book and see more than just letters jumbled on the page.

Did you know?

The cost of a high quality pre-kindergarten program is $12,000 per year…putting quality pre-kindergarten out of reach for most middle class families with young children

Literature-Based Activities

August 11th, 2009

“The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” – Dr. Seuss

This is oh so true! I have such a strong passion for children’s literature! People think I’m crazy when they see my collection of new and used, in-print and out-of-print children’s books…I’ve been an avid collector for 25 years and one of my favorite pastimes is getting lost in any type of bookstore. Just the smell of a book makes me happy!

Do you remember that feeling you would get when it was “the” day your elementary school class would get to visit your school library? It was such a treat!

Pre K Scholars is committed to sharing our passion for children’s literature by featuring a book of the month (this month’s feature is Not a Box. These books are personal favorites that provide so much more than just mere words on a page. I’ve seen them captivate the interest of many children. They are also books that spark creativity and peak the imaginations of many children—with that are great springboards for follow up activities that can extend across the curriculum.

In addition to providing readers with a featured Book of the Month, Pre K Scholars also provides its program purchasers with a recommended literature list that is 16 pages in length and contains over 500 titles of spectacular literature for children to enjoy. This list is a “priceless” compilation of suggested reading that is organized to correlate with each of the 22 weekly tabs within our program.

I welcome your suggestions, as well—if you have any favorite titles of children’s literature, please share them in the comments.
