= Welcome to Raising a Reader! =

**Purpose**
This wiki has been designed as a resource for parents and teachers of preschoolers and kindergarteners. I have included ideas to help you prepare your child to become a successful reader. I hope that you'll find the information helpful and will try some new things with your children. Also, remember that the more fun your child has while reading with you, the more motivated they will be to read. So, have FUN reading!

**How this wiki works**
Simply click on the links below (or to the left) to learn more about reading to your child, phonemic awareness and phonics activities and websites to explore with your child. Enjoy!
