Early Literacy Tip: Read and Play

Having fun with your child as they hear and make animal sounds helps your child to learn. As they develop listening skills they learn more about small sounds in words which help them to sound out words later on.  You can read more about young children, sounds and literacy from the Center for Early Literacy Learning at http://www.earlyliteracylearning.org/cellpract_pract/toddler/PGPrac_T_SoundsGood_WM.pdf
