Early Literacy Development

Young children are like sponges. Every day they learn skills that will help them become readers. Infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, for example, become aware of books and print and learn about sounds and letters. It's an exciting and important time of learning! The articles below discuss various aspects of early literacy and the important role that parents, child care providers, and preschool teachers play in helping young children learn and grow. Other related areas include Parent Tips, Preschool and Childcare, and Phonemic Awareness.
