Language and Literacy standards address your child’s language development, communication, and emerging literacy skills. Emerging literacy skills are built through interactions with families, caregivers, and teachers to provide the foundation for literacy and learning throughout life.
The Language and Literacy standards focus on your child’s development in:
- Language and Communication
- Phonological Awareness
- Print Awareness
- Emerging Writing Skills
These standards demonstrate how your child develops early literacy skills in speaking, listening to understand, building vocabulary, understanding stories read aloud, awareness of sounds in spoken words, the alphabet, and beginning writing skills.
