Songs, stories and first words
Preschool English is all about talking, listening and loving words. Little ones learn new words for colors, numbers, action words and everyday things, and they practice using them in short sentences. They sing songs, hear rhymes and start to notice that cat and hat sound alike. They begin to recognize letters, especially the ones in their own name, and learn that letters make sounds. They also learn to listen to a story, answer simple questions and take turns talking. The magic moment is when a child "reads" a favorite book from memory and turns every page!
Preschoolers learn language through songs, play and lots of talking. These moves use all three.
Pick one letter each week and play its song during circle time. Kids clap the sound, find things that start with it and draw it in the air. A song gives little ones a fun, repeatable way to learn letter names and sounds together.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).

Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).
Try it withColors Word WallFlash CardsOpen it →Flash an action word card like "hop," "stretch" or "clap" and let the kids do it. Then ask them to say the whole sentence: "I can hop!" Moving with words helps little bodies and brains learn together.
Why it works: in a well-known study, a few short sessions of a simple number board game measurably boosted young children's number skills (Ramani and Siegler, 2008).

Preschoolers build vocabulary, learn colors and numbers, sing songs and rhymes, start recognizing letters and practice listening and speaking in full sentences.
Most preschoolers are not reading yet, and that is okay. The goal is to love books, hear sounds in words and recognize some letters. Those skills set them up for reading in kindergarten.
Talk with your child all day, read together every day and name things around you. Sing songs and ask open questions like "What do you think will happen next?"
It varies a lot. Many preschoolers know the letters in their own name and a handful of others. By the start of kindergarten, many children recognize most uppercase letters.
