Literacy begins by immersing children in literacy-rich
environments and fostering a love of language and
reading. You can support young children’s emerging literacy skills by planning activities that involve
discriminating sounds, identifying print, recognizing
letters, developing a love of books, writing, and
appreciating the rhythm of language. |

Phonemic & Phonological Awareness
Children’s reading success begins with their ability to
identify the different sounds that letters and letter
combinations make and to associate these sounds with
written words. You can promote the development of these
skills by engaging children in activities that focus on the
sounds of letters and words.

Early Writing
Children’s efforts to communicate in a written format
begin at an early age. Every scribble and mark made
with purpose is an attempt to communicate an idea to
others. A child’s writing confidence grows when he has
many opportunities to express his ideas through
pictures and letter-like symbols and to experiment
with a variety of writing tools. |

Book Knowledge & Print Awareness
Children who are exposed to a variety of books and are read to frequently develop a love and appreciation for books that will last a lifetime. Promote children’s interest in books by setting aside a time each day for storytelling, by teaching them how to handle and care for books, by acting out scenes from a favorite story, by introducing reading-related activities, and most importantly by creating a classroom library full of wonderful book selections.

Alphabet Knowledge
Making concrete connections between abstract symbols and sounds increases children’s ability to learn the alphabet. You can give children opportunities to make these connections by introducing activities that encourage them to identify letters in familiar words and to associate the names of letters with their shapes and sounds. |
