Picture Books: Read Early Literacy Skill
10 Pins
Picture Books: Read Early Literacy Skill / Children who enter Kindergarten having never held a book must learn a lot of basics before they can even begin to sound out simple words on a page.

Picture Books: Talk Early Literacy Skill
9 Pins
Picture Books: Talk Early Literacy Skill / The more words children hear in conversations during their early childhoods, the larger their vocabulary when they go to school. That big vocabulary helps them recognize words when they see them for the first time in print. They will understand more of what they read and be less frustrated as beginning readers.
Picture Books: Play Early Literacy Skill
9 Pins
Picture Books: Play Early Literacy Skill / Play can be a powerful boost to early literacy learning! The critical component of play that builds children’s literacy skills is oral language. This includes talking about their play, describing what they are doing, negotiating roles, and discussing props.
Picture Books: Sing Early Literacy Skill
7 Pins
Picture Books: Sing Early Literacy Skill / Listening to and singing songs is one of the best ways for children to build their phonological awareness skills. Phonological awareness is the ability to hear the smaller sounds in words. This is a critical ability that allows children to sound out words on a page when they start to learn to read.
Picture Books: Write Early Literacy Skill
7 Pins
Picture Books: Write Early Literacy Skill / For many of us, incorporating activities and messages about writing into our storytimes is a new practice, and it may feel unusual to think about our storytimes and literacy messages from this point of view. The connections between writing and our familiar six skills may not seem obvious. But reading and writing are natural partners, and children build pre-writing skills hand in hand with their pre-reading skills.
