About Early Literacy

Early literacy is what a child knows about reading and writing before he or she can actually read or write. Children who have been encouraged to build these skills are at a distinct advantage for learning to read once they start school. Language and literacy development begins at birth, with parents and caregivers as a child's first teachers.

Additional information on developing early literacy is available at Readingrockets.org.

Build Skills at Home

Talk, sing, read, write, and play! Scroll through the current edition of Library Littles below or click any archived edition to find tips and ideas.
