Piggies in the Pumpkin Patch
By: Mary Peterson

Two mischievous piggies run amok on the farm, introducing young readers to prepositions, while alliteration, assonance and rhyme make for great read-aloud fun.

Reading Rockets
Long before young children learn to read, they are practicing critical pre-reading skills: discovering the world of print, holding a book and turning its pages, recognition of letters and the sounds of speech, rhyming, word play, and "scribble" writing. To learn more about how to help emergent readers master these skills, visit Reading Rockets' comprehensive collection of preschool resources, for parents, preschool teachers, and caregivers.
