Preschool (3-5): Growing with Ladybird

Preschool children learn best through playing and doing, while stories help them to interpret and understand the world around them and the changes and challenges they face.

Language develops at great pace, children learn to make links from one area of learning to another, and they start to connect sounds to letters. Some children will start to form letters, write their names and some numerals.

Children’s mathematical and scientific knowledge is also amazing – they can easily tell if one thing is larger, smaller, heavier or lighter than another. They build complicated, dazzling and bewildering models out of play-dough, construction toys, and create whole words out of cushions, cardboard and your clean washing!
Preschool children are also full of energy, particularly on a rainy day, so it’s important to find books that can engage their imagination and keep fiddly fingers busy and safe.

Your Preschool child will be busy equipping himself with all the skills he’ll need in both the playground and the classroom, once he starts school. Ladybird’s exciting Start School range of books for children aged 4+ will help you to focus his natural curiosity.
