What is Early Literacy?
Early Literacy is not teaching your child to read. It is about everything your child needs to know about reading and writing before they learn to read or write. Early literacy skills begin to develop in the first five years of life. They start when the baby: "chews" on it's first board book, listens to you read the words to a favorite story, recognizes a letter of the alphabet, pretends to "read" a story back to you.
You can teach Early Literacy skills!
The best person to teach a baby or toddler is the parent or caregiver. All you need is the basic knowledge of a few important "literacy concepts", some ideas for how to teach these concepts in everyday settings, and a willingness to spend time having fun with your baby or toddler.
