WHAT IS EARLY LITERACY?
Early Literacy development begins from birth to three years old and is closely linked to a child’s experience with text and oral language. The interactions that young children have with literacy materials and caregivers in their lives are the building blocks for language, reading, and writing development. In WCCUSD, Early Literacy instruction is based on the areas of reading comprehension, fluency, vocabulary, phonemic awareness and writing in grades Pre-K through 2nd grade.

EARLY LITERACY GOALS
Reading at level by the third grade is the most important predictor of high school graduation and career success. We know early literacy starts well before third grade which is why we want to ensure that every child has the power of literacy and the opportunity for a lifetime of success.
