Starting early reading education for 3/4-year-old children can not only enrich their knowledge base and broaden their horizons, but also cultivate their thinking ability, imagination and oral expression ability. In addition, it helps to promote their social cognition and emotional development. Although some parents think that such a young child has no reading ability, in fact, children aged 3-4 have the following abilities:

Recognition character

Children aged 3-4 can recognize familiar words, such as pointing out the word "Xiao" in the cover title of "Little Goldfish Escaped", which shows that they understand the meaning and specific pronunciation of words, which is different from ordinary graphics.

Understand the function of words

Children begin to understand the different functions of words. For example, they know that the shopping list posted by their mother on the refrigerator is different from the menu in the restaurant and has different uses and functions.

Read picture books together

By reading picture books with children, they can imitate and apply the new words and complex syntax they have learned, which not only enhances their understanding of spoken English, but also can practice in daily life.

Listen to the rhythmic reading.

Often listening to rhyming nursery rhymes and nursery rhymes will make them more sensitive to pronunciation.

Cultivate interest in reading

These seemingly ordinary reading abilities actually have a far-reaching impact on the cultivation of children's reading interest and the formation of independent reading ability in the future. Therefore, parents should attach importance to and actively carry out children's early reading education.
