Category: Early Literacy
We’ve made early literacy services to 0-5 year olds and their parents and caregivers a priority.
Early literacy is everything children know about reading and writing before they can actually read and write.
Research shows that children get ready to read years before they start school, even from birth. The development of early literacy skills through early experiences with books and stories is critically linked to a child’s success in learning to read.
