There are 5 Early Literacy Practices to help your infants, toddlers, and preschoolers build the foundation to learn to read:
* PLAY * READ * WRITE * SING * TALK *
Playing helps children put thoughts into words and think symbolically so they understand that spoken and written words can stand for real objects and experiences.

Reading together is the single most important way to help children get ready to read. Shared reading increases vocabulary and general knowledge. It helps children learn how print looks and how books work. Children who enjoy being read to are more likely to want to learn to read themselves.

Flex Your Creative Muscles to Make Something!
Writing and reading go together. Both represent spoken language and communicate information. Scribbling and writing help children learn that written words stand for spoken language. Children can learn pre-reading skills through writing activities.

Songs are a natural way for children to learn about language. Singing also slows down language so children can hear the different sounds that make up words.
Talking with children is one of the best ways to help them learn new words and information. Children learn language and other early literacy skills by listening to their parents and others talk. As children hear spoken language, they learn new words and what they mean. They learn about the world around them and important general knowledge.
