First of all...what is early literacy?

Early literacy is everything a child knows about reading and writing before they actually are proficient readers and writers.

What is an Early Literacy Center?

An early literacy center is a place that caregivers and babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-agers up through third grade can go TOGETHER to do the work of emerging and beginning readers and the work of childhood is play.
