Top 5 Ways to Help Preschoolers LEARN FRIENDS' NAMES

If you’d like to build your preschooler’s life skills, make sure that you don’t forget to help them learn their friends’ names.

WHY PRESCHOOLERS SHOULD LEARN THEIR FRIENDS’ NAMES

When preschoolers learn their friends’ names it not only demonstrates that their friends are important to them, but it also gets children interested in print and writing. Children always learn best when engaged in things that are interesting to them, and learning about their friends is always pretty exciting. This is also a great opportunity to teach preschoolers about the significance of names and introductions.

In preschool, name play has many benefits. Names are very meaningful to children, which means they have a natural connection to them and a willingness to explore and learn. Learning friends’ names builds community, develops print awareness, and is the beginning of site reading.
