Kindergarten teachers can start by choosing appropriate books for both fiction and nonfiction. For fiction, pick stories with simple language and engaging illustrations. Read the stories slowly and ask open - ended questions like 'What would you do if you were the character?' For nonfiction, start with very basic concepts. Use songs or rhymes to teach nonfiction facts, like a rhyme about the days of the week. Also, create a cozy reading corner for fiction and a discovery area for nonfiction materials where kids can explore at their own pace.

Another good method is to create a story map with the characters. Draw a big picture of the story setting, and then put pictures or little cut - outs of the characters in the relevant places. As you tell the story, move the characters around on the map. This helps the kids visualize where the characters are in the story. You can also encourage the kids to make their own story maps with the characters at a later stage. This hands - on activity makes the learning more engaging for them.
