Encouraging a love of reading in your child
Early Literacy in Action:
Print Awareness
Presenter: Kelsie Nygren, Library Assistant II
Main Library
A Workshop Presented By
The Children’s Department
Of The Abilene Public Library
February 12, 2015
Abilene, Texas
What in the world is
Print Awareness?
• The next step after print motivation.
• Includes knowing that print has meaning, knowing how
to handle a book, and noticing print all around you.
• Handling a book includes knowing how to hold it,
knowing the cover/back, and knowing it is read left to
right.
• Also includes following words on the page.
How do you develop print awareness?
• Point out the author and illustrator before you read
• Use your voice to match the size of print
• Share different shapes, sizes, and colors of words
How do you develop print awareness?
• Track words sometimes
when you read.
• Find words everywhere and
read them – signs are
perfect!
• Get board books that your
baby can handle.
• Let your toddler turn the
pages.
Why should we care about print awareness?
• Children must become aware of words before they can read
them
• They should understand that words and pictures work
together to tell the story
• When children feel comfortable with how a book works, they
can concentrate on the story
• These are simple skills, but they are not intuitive.
How can I encourage this?
• Point to simple or repeating
words and encourage your child
to say the words with you.
• This helps your child understand
that you are reading the words,
not just the pictures.
• This works really well with
favorite books that you read over
and over again.
What does this mean for me?
• Print awareness can be applied daily at libraries, schools, and
daycares
• Any storytime utilizes print awareness foundations
– Having the child watch you read
– Following words on the page
– Being able to point out repeating phrases and words
How can I
apply this to
my work?
• Encourage interactive storytime. Have children follow along by
engaging them with the illustrations and text, asking questions
that go beyond “yes” or “no.”
• Use flannel boards to act out the story differently – nursery
rhymes and folktales are familiar, and will help children develop a
story building process.

Alphabet Book Craft
• As children begin to learn to read, one of the first things they
learn is the alphabet.
• Knowing what the letters look like, and understanding what
words start with which letter is the first stepping stone.
This craft can be used as
a take home to give to
parents, or can be
implemented in
storytimes by using it as
a flannel board.

What in the world is Print Awareness? • The next step after print motivation. • Includes knowing that print has meaning, knowing how to handle a book, and noticing print all around you. • Handling a book includes knowing how to hold it, knowing the cover/back, and knowing it is read left to right. • Also includes following words on the page.
  • 3. How do you develop print awareness? • Point out the author and illustrator before you read • Use your voice to match the size of print • Share different shapes, sizes, and colors of words
  • 4. How do you develop print awareness? • Track words sometimes when you read. • Find words everywhere and read them – signs are perfect! • Get board books that your baby can handle. • Let your toddler turn the pages.
  • 5. Why should we care about print awareness? • Children must become aware of words before they can read them • They should understand that words and pictures work together to tell the story • When children feel comfortable with how a book works, they can concentrate on the story • These are simple skills, but they are not intuitive.
  • 6. How can I encourage this? • Point to simple or repeating words and encourage your child to say the words with you. • This helps your child understand that you are reading the words, not just the pictures. • This works really well with favorite books that you read over and over again.
  • 7. What does this mean for me? • Print awareness can be applied daily at libraries, schools, and daycares • Any storytime utilizes print awareness foundations – Having the child watch you read – Following words on the page – Being able to point out repeating phrases and words
  • 8. How can I apply this to my work? • Encourage interactive storytime. Have children follow along by engaging them with the illustrations and text, asking questions that go beyond “yes” or “no.” • Use flannel boards to act out the story differently – nursery rhymes and folktales are familiar, and will help children develop a story building process.

  • 12. Alphabet Book Craft • As children begin to learn to read, one of the first things they learn is the alphabet. • Knowing what the letters look like, and understanding what words start with which letter is the first stepping stone. This craft can be used as a take home to give to parents, or can be implemented in storytimes by using it as a flannel board.
