Children between the ages of three and four are naturally curious, imaginative, and increasingly independent. They are beginning to ask more questions, tell longer stories, recognize familiar letters, and make connections between the books they hear and the world around them.

At this age, preparing a child to read should not feel like formal instruction. The most effective learning happens through play, conversation, music, movement, drawing, and shared stories. These enjoyable experiences help children develop the language, comprehension, sound awareness, and early phonics skills they will eventually use to become confident readers.
