Early Literacy

Parents, educators, and caregivers play a vital role in fostering early literacy. Practical strategies include:

• Reading aloud daily: Share books that are age-appropriate and engaging.
• Engaging in conversations: Encourage children to ask and answer questions.
• Providing a print-rich environment: Surround children with books, magazines, and writing materials.
• Incorporating play-based learning: Use games, songs, and rhymes to teach literacy skills.
• Modeling reading and writing behaviors: Let children see adults reading and writing for various purposes.

By prioritizing early literacy, we give children the tools they need to succeed academically, socially, and personally. The earlier we start, the greater the benefits for their lifelong development.
