Before children can read on their own, they build literacy skills through singing, talking, and playing with language. Experts note that many children start kindergarten without the literacy skills they need. Reading aloud, naming objects, and singing songs stimulate brain development and expand vocabulary.

At A Village Learning Center preschool and daycare, we weave literacy into everything we do — from story time and dramatic play to labeling the world around us. We also give families tips for creating a literacy-rich home: read together every day, encourage scribbling and drawing, and ask questions about stories.
