                                     Powerful preschool programs not only motivate
                                      children to want to learn to read, they
                                      also prepare them to be
                                      successful in learning how to read. In Section 
                                      2 you will be reading about how developing 
                                      children’s phonological awareness

                                      ability to decode words as he or she progresses 
                                      through the reading process.
