Early Literacy

Early literacy is what children know about reading and writing before they actually learn to read and write. Early literacy is all about laying the foundation for reading so that when your child is developmentally ready to read they will have the necessary skills. It is never too early to start planting the seeds for your child's future success in learning to read.
