Early literacy skills are essential because they provide the foundation for children’s success in school and beyond. By providing children with a strong foundation in literacy, we can help set them up for a lifetime of learning and achievement.

 

Here are some reasons why early literacy skills are essential:

 

Brain Development:

Early literacy experiences help to develop a child’s brain and lay the groundwork for future learning. Children exposed to language and literacy activities from a young age have better brain development, vocabulary, and cognitive skills.


Communication and Language Skills:

Early literacy skills help children develop strong communication and language skills. Children exposed to books, stories, and conversation from a young age have larger vocabularies and better language comprehension.

School Readiness:

Early literacy skills are essential for school readiness. Children who have developed early literacy skills are more likely to be successful in school and have better academic outcomes.

Imagination and Creativity:

Early literacy experiences can inspire imagination and creativity in children. Exposure to books, stories, and other literacy activities can help children develop a love of learning and a curiosity about the world around them.

Future Success

Early literacy skills are a significant predictor of future success. Children exposed to literacy activities from a young age are more likely to graduate from high school, attend college/university, and have successful careers.
