Pre-K Reading & Writing
Pre-K reading and writing is listening, talking, and playing with sounds. Your child hears that a sentence is made of words and a word is made of parts, finds rhymes and first sounds, learns letter names and the sounds they make, and listens to short stories to talk about who, where, and what happened. Books come in too: the cover, where to start reading, and the difference between letters, words, and pictures.
For 4-year-olds. Questions are read aloud, answers are pictures to tap, sessions are short, and there is no clock. Pre-K follows the Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines, which come before the TEKS, and has no skills check yet.

How to help at home
Read a picture book together every day, and stop to ask who is in the story and what happened. Play rhyme games in the car: cat, hat, bat. What else rhymes? Then try words that start the same. Point out the letters of your child's name wherever you see them: signs, cereal boxes, the mail.Source: Texas Education Agency, 2022 Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines, PK4 Streamlined Version, II–IV (PDF).
