Early Literacy

 As seen in the video, early literacy refers to the exposure of the different written materials, elements and units of writing from young ages to create a connection between kids and reading. This connection is important for them to have a long term attachment to the different texts to be encountered during their lives. 

Based on the video and from text exploration, we recommend parents, tutors and caregivers the following advices.

Read Aloud Every Day: Make storytime a daily habit. Ask questions and let kids predict what happens next.

Play with Sounds: Use rhymes, songs, and sound games to help kids notice sounds in words.

Encourage Storytelling: Let kids re-tell stories or make up their own using puppets or toys.

Build Vocabulary: Talk a lot! Describe things and ask open-ended questions to expand their language.

Create a Print-Rich Space: Label items and use posters so kids see words everywhere.

Introduce the Alphabet: Use magnetic letters, songs, and letter games to help kids recognize letters.

Strengthen Fine Motor Skills: Activities like drawing or building blocks help kids prepare for writing.

Involve Families: Send books home and encourage parents to read with their children.
