Early Literacy
Literacy describes a range of complex skills. It includes the word-level skills of both word reading and spelling and the text-level skills of reading comprehension and writing composition.
The overall aim of these skills is for an author to effectively communicate their message and for a reader to understand it.
Children’s early literacy is dependent on their oral language skills and educators working with early years children play a pivotal role in laying the foundations for literacy.
Approaches for teaching early literacy should, therefore, be used in ways that build on approaches that support communication and language, which are fundamental to children’s literacy.
