Yesterday, I got to participate in a Literacy Matters event where I got to talk about something I am SO passionate about: early literacy.

Here are the recordings if anyone is interested.  Keep in mind this was a live event, so there are no edits.  I hope this is helpful!

Here are 6 essential pre-reading skills (outlined by the state of Utah) with tips on how you can teach these skills to your little ones!
1.  Print Motivation

2.  Vocabulary

3.  Print Awareness

4.  Narration

5.  Letter Knowledge

6.  Phonological Awareness

What did you learn?  What have you tried with your kids?
