Definition:

Early literacy is variously known as emergent literacy, prereading, reading readiness, or early literacy. These skills can be broken down into six pre-reading skills:

Letter Knowledge: Knowing the names and sounds of letters helps children figure out how to say written words.
Narrative Skills: Being able to tell or retell stories develops comprehension skills that will help children understand what they read.
Phonological Awareness: Being aware of the smaller sounds that make up words helps children sound out written words as they begin to read.
Print Awareness: Being familiar with printed language helps children feel comfortable with books and understand that print is useful.
Print Motivation: Children who enjoy books and being read to will want to learn how to read for themselves.
Vocabulary: The more words children know, the better able they are to recognize words and understand what they read.

But we know that there is a vast difference in the preschool experiences of children in our community. Some spend their first five years in a �language rich� environment while others experience inter-generational disadvantage which perpetuates low literacy levels. In order to make a real difference in our communities we have to find ways to help all children begin school with the vocabulary and reading readiness they need to succeed.
