Literacy learning begins early.

Check out this sweet little one as she “reads” a board book independently in her crib.

Her language is not yet conventional. But consider all the knowledge she’s putting on display.

First, she knows that books contain meaning and that they can be read aloud - just like her parents do with her.

She’s got an understanding (even if her book is upside down) that as stories progress one turns the pages from left to right.

And, interestingly, she may even recognize that books catering to her age range often include simple, repetitive text. (Listen as she vocalizes a similar pattern over and over.)

Is she interacting with the text itself? Not yet. And that’s just fine.

But at well under a year of age, she’s already absorbed an impressive amount about books and how they work.

Read with your baby every day. You’ll be amazed by the benefits.

This literate little one was shared to IG by last1knights.

Deep work on phonics principles and instruction for our @LastingerCenter K-2 Cohort teachers on Day 2. This activity was about voiced and unvoiced sounds in English to help students with blending and segmenting phonemes in words. #PBCLiteracy @pbcsd
