LITERACY
In order to learn to read a child must learn to differentiate one letter from another and to attach a sound (or sounds) to that letter. The child not only has to learn to do this without error, but in order for skilled reading
to develop, they must learn to do it without thinking about it. Doing something without thinking about it is called automatic performance and automatically will turn out to be a key concept in skilled reading development. Your involvement is simple! All you need to do is to expose your child to the letter sounds. You want them to understand that when they begin to read, different letters make different
sounds. And, when your child starts to string together the individual sounds together they are now able to sound out, or stretch a word.
