Reading development
by various age groups
Our brains may be wired for speaking, but they are actually not wired for reading and writing. Read below to learn more about how literacy skills evolve throughout a child’s development.
Birth - Age 3
Building a solid foundation in literacy begins at birth. How exactly does one read to an infant? Is my baby absorbing this story? These are all great questions with a not so complicated answer.
Pre-K
By the time your child has turned 4 their brains have already begun laying the foundation for Literacy. Now is the time to have more fun with the literacy activities you naturally engage in at home.
Kinder & 1st grade
Your reader is now ready to link speech sounds to letters to decode words, and will soon start to make sense of what they read. Get ready to look out for the many light bulbs during this phase!
2nd grade & up
During this miraculous phase, your 7 to 8 year old reader is ready to launch into fluent, confident
reading and really experience the true essence of reading - understanding.
