Did you know?
To have the best possible start in school, children need a solid foundation of early language and literacy skills. These are the skills that prepare children to read, write, and use the kind of language they’ll be expected to use in school.
The research says:
Children who start school with higher levels of language and literacy go on to have higher levels of academic success.
Children learn these skills best during language-rich everyday interactions about the things that interest them.
Parents and early childhood educators play a critical role in fostering the kinds of interactions that help children learn.
