Development of Book and Print Orientation
Skills
 Book awareness includes concepts such as front cover, back cover, title, author,
and which way to turn the pages. It even incorporates how we treat books. In my
home, I say, “Books are not toys.

 Print awareness is one of five critical pre-reading skills. Without print awareness,
children are unable to develop other literacy skills such as reading, spelling, and
handwriting.

 A child’s print awareness develops when those close to him point out letters and
words in text found in the child’s environment. It also develops through playing
word games, when you turn the pages of a book, and when you run your finger
under a line of text as you read.
