Share a Story 2013 Day 3: Prepping for Preschool UPDATED

Oh, how time flies ...

Our babies grow up too fast, days just zoom by, and weeks are here and gone before we know it. In addition to getting taller, our kids are learning and practicing literacy skills the best way they know how: talking!

And oh, the things they say!

Lucky for us, Debbie Alvarez (The Styling Librarian) is here to help us create and savor some magical moments.

She has created a page on her blog just for today's theme, and is also writing posts throughout the week. Today, as  host, she's letting us in on her secrets of early literacy preparation. She's also linking to these great bloggers ...

• Tif Sweeney at Tif Talks Books has a post about going beyond books;;
• +Jen Robinson writes about making connections between books and everyday life on Jen Robinson's Book Page;
• +Jodie Rodriguez continues her focus on the library with a post about making the most of library time at Growing Book by Book;
• +Dena Davis talks about Tiny Writers and Magic Erasers at her Marketing Barefoot blog; and
• Colleen O'Hearn shares the lasting effects of childhood reading on motherhood at Destination Happy.

Do you have a post about reading with kids who are three? We'd be honored to have you join the conversation, and welcome posts old and new.

Last but not least, save a little energy ... our Writing @ Reading prompts will go live at Noon today.
