The very first teachers for a child are like the parents. The responsibility of exposing the child to early literacy falls on shoulders of parents. Early literacy skills include knowledge about numbers, words, print awareness, understanding phonetics and simple writing skills. Early Literacy skills help the children become readers and writers and give them the confidence to express themselves comfortably.
Children who develop literacy skills at an early stage have an advantage all through the school years and excel in every field they walk in. Putting the children into the habit of reading will certainly help them to do extremely well later on in life.
