Why read to your child?
What is Early Literacy?
Early literacy is what children know about reading and
writing before they can actually read and write.
Research shows that children get ready to read years before
they start school.
From birth throughout the preschool years, children develop
knowledge of spoken language, the sounds that form words,
letters, writing, and books. This is the beginning of the
abilities that children need to be able to learn to read and
write in school.
Why parents are so important in helping their children get
ready to read:
-
You know your children best.
-
Children learn best when they are in a good
mood, and you know their moods best.
-
You can help your children learn reading
skills in ways that are easiest for them.
-
Children learn best by doing things-and they
love doing things with you.
Ask your public library for the names of books to
read to your child. Ask about library programs that you and your
child can enjoy together.
