What is early literacy? Literacy begins at birth. Early literacy
skills are the skills a child needs to acquire before he or she
can learn to read or write. They include vocabulary, print
motivation, print awareness, narrative skills, letter knowledge,
and phonological awareness. They are developed through exposure
to language during such activities as talking, singing, and
playing. Below, you will find a list of online resources,
websites, and apps that aim to help your child get ready to
read. Early Literacy Resources for Parents and Educators Saroj
