Talk, Sing, Read, Write, and Play to build your baby’s brain

As your child’s first & best teacher, you can help them get ready for school by making 5 simple early literacy practices part of your day!

The day children are born, their brains are primed for language. Talking with your child about anything and everything helps them build oral language skills, which are critical to early literacy!

Singing is incredibly engaging for children and has countless early literacy benefits, which include building vocabulary, slowing down language, developing memory skills, and so much more!

Reading helps children understand how text works and positions them to increase their language and literacy skills throughout their lives.

When children are given a chance to explore scribbling, draw pictures, and tell stories, they are learning reading skills. Being an active participant in writing helps keep children excited about reading stories.

Play comes so naturally to children and is an essential element to lifelong success. When children play, they are practicing and perfecting early literacy and life skills!
