Early Years Education - Literacy Program - Nagoya, Japan

Hey everyone at our cool international preschool program in Japan! Today, let's talk about why reading is like having superpowers, especially when we're learning English and having a blast doing it.


1. Word Power Boost:


Okay, imagine reading as the secret sauce that makes your brain a superhero. When we read, we learn tons of new words. These words are like our trusty sidekicks, helping us talk about cool stuff, share stories, and make friends in English and everywhere else.


2. Epic Adventures:


Books are like magic carpets that take us on crazy adventures. We go to faraway places, meet awesome characters, and have the best time ever. Plus, we pick up how English words sound and get super good at speaking it, making us language superheroes!


3. Talking Like a Pro:


Reading isn't just about silent words; it's like a language concert. When we hear stories, we groove to the English beat. This makes us talk with a cool rhythm, saying words just right. So, we become pros at talking in English and our own language – double the awesomeness!


4. Brain Workouts:


Reading is like exercise for our brains. It makes our brains strong and super smart. We remember stuff better, pay more attention, and become mega geniuses. It's like going to the gym, but for our heads!


5. Traveling with Tales:


Books aren't just stories; they're like passports to different worlds. We get to know people from everywhere, making us friends with the whole wide world. This not only makes our English awesome but also makes us experts on what's happening around the globe.


6. Phonics Fun!!:


At our preschool, we make reading even more fun with phonics. It's like solving word puzzles! We learn how to break words into sounds, like finding hidden treasures in a game. It's so cool because we can read all by ourselves and be reading champions!


7. Buddy Reading Bonanza:


When we read together, it's like having a reading party! It's not just about the words; it's about having a blast with our parents, teachers, and friends. We share laughs, curiosity, and loads of fun. It's like making super awesome memories while we learn English together!


So, reading is like a magical adventure that makes us bilingual rockstars. Let's keep flipping those pages and having a blast with words, stories, and becoming language legends. Happy reading, everyone! 🚀📚✨
