Reading aloud to your preschool learners is the very best way to help them fall in love with books. Great picture books help establish print awareness at an early age and expand your preschoolers’ vocabulary.

Plus, they’re a fantastic way to talk about new things with your early learners and introduce important topics.

In addition to these fun preschool read aloud books, we like to engage in Valentine’s Day crafts, math activities, and science experiments. Check out my favorite candy heart science experiment below for a conversation heart preschool activity your whole class will love this year!
