Early Literacy Practices
(Updated in March 2020)
Research shows that there are early literacy skills that children need to pick up on their way to becoming fluent readers:
Letter Knowledge
Recognising letters and knowing their names and sounds.
Narrative Skills
Being able to describe objects and events.
Phonological Awareness
Understanding that words are made of smaller sounds and being able to hear and play with these smaller sounds.
Print Awareness
Understanding that the print on a page represent words and knowing how to follow the words on a page and use a book.
Vocabulary
Knowing the names of things, feelings and concepts.
