How to Write a Newsletter to Preschoolers

Early-childhood interaction with reading materials such as books and magazines encourages the development of literacy skills necessary for children to learn to read. A preschool newsletter provides another source of reading material for children and their caregivers. Creating a newsletter that is written for preschoolers to enjoy reinforces concepts they are learning. Additionally, through pictures and words, a newsletter gives children an opportunity to share their news and ideas with their peers and adults.
