6 Early Literacy Skills become 5 Best Practices

These 6 Early Literacy Skills were defined in the early literacy project, Every Child Ready to Read @ Your Library. I have earlier posts describing the 6 skills and suggestions on how to develop the skills in you child.
Vocabulary
Knowing the names of things.

Print Motivation
A child's interest in and enjoyment of books.

Print Awareness
Noticing print everywhere; knowing how to handle a book; knowing how we follow the words on a page.

Narrative Skills
The ability to describe things and events and tell stories.

Letter Knowledge
Knowing that letters have names and are different from each other, and that specific sounds go with specific letters.

Phonological Awareness
The ability to hear and play with the smaller sounds in words.

Now, the 2nd edition of Every Child Ready to Read @ Your Library has been released and these 6 skills have incorporated into these 5 best practices to get your child ready to read:

Talking, singing, reading, writing and playing.

It's that simple. All of our preschool programming will revolve around these best practices!
