 An interest and enjoyment in print
handling books and relating them to their stories or information.

Print awareness
how to handle a book, reading from left to right your child
recognizes pictures and some symbols, signs, or words.
An interest in telling and listening to stories.
attend to, repeat, and use some rhymes, phrases, or
refrains from stories or songs.
They make marks and use them to represent objects
or actions. An understanding that words are made up of
letters, recognizing letters when they see them
How to :
Support emergent language and literacy by supporting families in :
•Maintaining and passing on their home language to their children,
which helps children connect to their families and have a strong,
positive cultural identity of their own
•Using "parent-ese," talking to an infant with slower speech and
exaggerated vowel sounds, to help the baby figure out the
sounds of his or her home language (e.g., "mmaaaammaaaa
•Responding appropriately to infants' coos, gestures, and body
movements and all the ways infants and toddlers communicate
before they use language
•Adding elaborations to the words children say; for example:
If a toddler points and says "truck," the parents might extend this by saying,
"Yes, that is a garbage truck emptying our dumpster," or,
"I think you hear the sirens of the fire truck
•Reading and sharing stories with young children

•Pointing out familiar icons, such as a stop sign or the name

on the grocery store, as well as shapes, colors,
and letters in the environment

•Counting fingers and saying rhymes during handwashing;

thus, you have touched on a healthy behavior and layered
it with literacy and math

is used for the initial learning of reading

been to school go through

WHAT ARE THE LITERACY
SKILLS ?

Literacy skills are the

skills needed for reading

and writing
• What are reading literacy skills?

Reading is the process of looking at written symbols and

letters and understanding the meaning of them. There are lots of
literacy skills that are involved in developing vital reading
literacy skills. Reading skills contribute to a child's reading
ability - in other words, how well they can read and understand
what they're reading. There's a wide variety of reading skills
that children develop and work on throughout their primary
education and beyond. These reading literacy skills include:
• Decoding: The decoding definition in reading is the process of working out
how to say (or how to begin sounding out) an unfamiliar written word. This
process makes it easier for children to understand, recognize and figure
out the meaning or pronunciation of words they may not have seen before.

• Phonemic awareness: Phonemic awareness is a component of

phonological awareness that exclusively refers to the observation of
phonemes. It refers to the ability to focus on specific individual sounds in
spoken words
• Reading fluency: Reading fluency brings word
recognition and comprehension together. It's the last
main skill that's needed to be able to read. Fluency
allows you to read smoothly without getting stuck on your
words.
• Reading comprehension: Reading comprehensions the
understanding of what has been read through the
learning and processing of reading skills. Reading
comprehension is a crucial skill in adult life, too. For
example, we need reading comprehension skills to be
able to understand important letters, contracts, work
documents, emails etc.
• What are writing literacy skills?

Writing involves transcription (spelling and handwriting)

and composition (articulating ideas and structuring them
in speech, before writing). Similarly to reading literacy
skills, there are a lot of different writing literacy skills that
come together to form written literacy.
• What are the other types of Literacy Skills?
Literacy skills can be divided into three main areas: information literacy,
digital literacy and media literacy
1. Information Literacy
Information literacy is what we traditionally think of when we think of literacy skills. It involves
working with information, such as using the levels of Bloom's taxonomy (remembering,
understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating).

2. Digital Literacy
Technology has become a huge part of our everyday lives, and so it's brought with it
a new form of literacy: digital literacy. Simply put, digital literacy involves the ability
to use technology effectively and for a purpose.
3.Media Literacy
Media literacy is about understanding the different ways that information is
produced and distributed. There are many forms of media, with new ones being
created all the time. Forms of media can include:
