One of the simplest ways to boost your child’s early literacy skills is by talking with them throughout the day. Whether you’re running errands, cooking dinner, or playing outside, describe what you’re doing, name objects, and ask open-ended questions. These back-and-forth conversations help children develop vocabulary, listening skills, and an understanding of how language works - all essential building blocks for reading. Don’t worry about using big words either; kids learn best when they hear rich, varied language in real-life settings.
