What is Early Literacy?
Learning to read doesn't start when children enter school. It actually begins right at birth. Early literacy is what children know about reading and writing before they can actually read and write. Researchers have identified six pre-reading (early literacy) skills that help children get ready to read and five practices that support those skills: reading, talking, singing, writing and playing. Our Preschool Literacy Programs are a great way to see these skills and practices in action!
