I believe early literacy is the development of foundational skills in language, reading, and writing that children acquire before their formal education begins.
Caro Lau, 2023/10/26 20:43
I think a good way to define emergent literacy is by giving some examples - children engaging in reading books with parents and caregivers, learning how to hold a book, learning to write and draw by scribbling, playing with the sounds of language through rhymes and songs and developing a love of literacy. Emergent literacy builds solid foundations which lead to early literacy.
Xanthe, 2023/06/29 14:39
