Welcome to the Magical World of Reading!

✨ Introduction

Hello, my little explorers! Today, we are going to embark on a fantastic journey into the world of books! Are you ready?

🎒 What You Will Need

To get started on our adventure, let’s gather our magical tools:

• Your imagination
• A cozy reading spot (find a nice place to sit)
• A favorite storybook (if you have one)

📚 The Magic of Stories

Now, before we dive in, let’s talk about how stories can be like magic. They can take us anywhere! We can fly with dragons, discover treasure on pirate ships, or even swim with dolphins in the sea!

🌍 Question Time:

• Raise your hand if you have a favorite story you love to read. What happens in it?

✏️ Pre-Reading Fun!

Before we read, we need to build our reading superpowers! Let’s play a fun game to practice some important pre-reading skills:

Sound Safari

1. Let’s Listen: I will say a word, and you get to listen to the sounds. For example, "cat."
2. Repeat After Me: Can you hear the beginning sound? What sound does “cat” start with? Yes, it’s “kuh!”
3. Animal Sounds: Now, let’s make animal sounds! When I say “dog,” you can bark like a dog!

🐾 Example Words:

• Cat
• Dog
• Fish
• Frog

Picture Parade

Now it's time for the Picture Parade!

1. Bring your storybook and look at the pictures.
2. What do you see? Let’s name the things we find!
3. Can you match the pictures to the words? (Point to a picture and see if you can say what it is! If you can’t read yet, that’s okay! Just say what you think it might be!)

🎉 Let’s Get Reading!

Now that we’ve warmed up our reading superpowers with our games, let’s begin our story adventure! Choose a storybook and let’s read together. Every time you hear a sound or see a picture, remember: You are a reading superhero!

Happy Reading, Little Explorers! 🌟

Let the adventure begin! 🥳
