Ready to Read: Playing Resources
How does playing help children learn to read?
-
Play is one of the primary ways young children learn about how the world works and learn language.
-
Play helps children practice putting their thoughts into words.
-
Play helps children think symbolically — that this item stands for this thing ("This box is a rocket ship!"), which helps them understand that words can stand for real objects or experiences.
-
Play is how children practice becoming adults and process what they see and hear everyday.
