Early Literacy Tip


                                                Early Literacy  
What children know about reading and writing before they learn to read and write.


It is important to develop early literacy skills in young children so that they are adequately prepared to learn how to read and write.  Strong reading skills form the basis for learning in all subjects and lead to better performance in school.


Early Literacy Tip

READ

Read and reread, and read again.  Read books about topics your child is interested in.  Read to your child, read with your child, and listen to their attempts to read to you.


Reading and rereading books to, and with, your child helps to develop your child's language skills, and increases their vocabulary and general knowledge.  It also promotes print awareness (the awareness that words on a page mean something), how books are put together, and letter knowledge (learning the letters of the alphabet).
