over another if we want to achieve the holistic goal, which is to
make the child happy and prepare him to be a positive member
of society.
Preparing the child to read and write in
kindergarten
The aim of preparing the child to read and write does not mean
that we teach him how to read and write at this stage. As we
have mentioned above, it is not the role
of the nursery school or
kindergarten to teach the child to read and write; rather its role is
to develop the child’s mental, physical,
psychological, social and
linguistic skills in order to prepare him to start school, where he
will learn other things including reading and writing. Hence at the
kindergarten stage it is essential to increase the child’s
vocabulary in preparation for reading as
well as strengthening the
muscles of his hands in preparation for writing.
Preparing the child for reading
One of the most important ways of preparing the child to learn
how to read is developing his language skills and increasing his
vocabulary by as many words as possible.
With regard to the curriculum that has
to be set out for training
the child and preparing him to read, it has to be suited to his
environment, abilities and inclinations,
and it should stem from
the values of his society. It should include activities that motivate
the child to use and understand language verbally, such as trips,
conversation and listening to stories.
Attention should be paid to
enriching the topics discussed with the child in exciting ways by
means of pictures and clear letters. Attention should be paid to
ensuring that pictures are in the same sequence as the story
being told. The number of words intended
to be taught should be
few per page, to make it easy for the child to understand them.
Bright and beautiful colors should be used to attract the child’s
attention.
