Early Literacy
Learning to read is a developmental process that begins long before a child enters school. In fact early literacy skills are nurtured from birth. They begin when a mom talks to her baby; when a dad points to an object and says its name; when a caregiver sings a song; and when parents snuggle with their child while reading a book. In short, early literacy skills begin in everyday interaction between loving adults and children.
Early literacy is what children know about reading and writing before they can actually read and write.
These programs help parents promote early literacy skills.
