Why is early literacy important?
According to a survey of kindergarten teachers conducted in Fall 2006 by the Oregon Department of Education, 19.4% of children in Multnomah County entered kindergarten "not ready to succeed," in large part because they lack the necessary language and pre-reading skills.

Why Focus on this Age Group?
• Early childhood development is unique: physically (motor skills), emotionally (regulation and attachment), mentally (language skills and problem-solving), and socially (appropriate behavior with others).
• The human brain achieves approximately 85% of its adult size by age 2 ½ years, and 90% of total growth by age 3.

Statistics:• Maryanne Wolf (2007) in her book
Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain notes that “by kindergarten, a gap of 32 million words already separates some children in linguistically impoverished homes from their more stimulated peers.”
• By the 6th grade, they are already 3 grade levels behind their average-performing peers.

Increase ways you interact verbally with your toddler:
• Play make-believe -- Talk while you play, and encourage your toddler to talk back.
• Silly rhymes, "The bed is on her head.” • Nonsense words, "It's time to skidaddle
to your mat for a nap." • Add new verses to songs: "...and on his
farm he had a pickle..." • Ask silly questions children answer:
"No"--.

After reading, allow children to
experience nature and point out
what they read and talked about
while at daycare. Take a picture
and send to Mommy and Daddy.

Story Time—part of a child’s literacy development:
• Special time: part of routine.
• Read favorite books-over and over
• Read what and when the toddler asks you to.
![Page 13: In the Lap of Literacy Presented by Kaye Price-Hawkins, Priceless Literacy-Abilene, TX .](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cfe5503460f949ce5da/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Story Time, continued…
• If you can't stop what you are doing…
• Child may draw his or her favorite part of the story.
This 3-year-old is writing a story about rocks because that’s what he has been reading about with his caregiver.

“Look at this!”
![Page 15: In the Lap of Literacy Presented by Kaye Price-Hawkins, Priceless Literacy-Abilene, TX .](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cfe5503460f949ce5da/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Reading Aloud
• Books that allow them to do something and may wear out.
• Books with repeated words, rhymes, and phrases.
• Ask questions about the pictures: "Who's that?" "Where do you think he's going?" "What do cows say?"
![Page 16: In the Lap of Literacy Presented by Kaye Price-Hawkins, Priceless Literacy-Abilene, TX .](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cfe5503460f949ce5da/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Reading Aloud, continued
• Connect to real-life experiences.
• Discuss illustrations: “Where’s the …?” “What sound does … make?”
• Have several books illustrated by the same artist, such as, Eric Carle.
![Page 17: In the Lap of Literacy Presented by Kaye Price-Hawkins, Priceless Literacy-Abilene, TX .](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cfe5503460f949ce5da/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Reading Aloud, continued…
POINT OUT AND NAME: • Text features
• Objects within the illustrations
• Clarify incorrect identifications

Reading On Their Own…
• When the toddler looks at books alone…
– Help toddlers learn to care for books
– Ask your toddler to help fix damaged books
![Page 19: In the Lap of Literacy Presented by Kaye Price-Hawkins, Priceless Literacy-Abilene, TX .](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cfe5503460f949ce5da/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Preschoolers learn about reading when looking at books by themselves and seeing adults reading.
• Children love to imitate adults. A child who sees you enjoying a book or magazine will want to do the same.
• Show your child how you use books, newspapers, and other written materials to find out information…
