North Central Regional Library and Links to Literacy
Links to Literacy is the early literacy program that librarians throughout
the NCRL branches use in their weekly storytimes. Links to Literacy is
a program that teaches children the skills needed to begin to learn to
read. The branch librarians model book-sharing techniques for
parents during storytimes, so they can incorporate these ideas
into storytimes at home. Join us at your local community library
for stories, songs, rhymes and fun!
Early Literacy Skills that every child learns before reading:
• LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT
• BOOK KNOWLEDGE AND APPRECIATION
• ALPHABET RECOGNITION
• PRINT AWARENESS
• PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS
• EARLY WRITING
Early Literacy Spotlight: PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS
The ability to discern different sounds in a word is important for early literacy. Children must be able to recognize
rhyming, letter sounds and syllables. Songs and nursery rhymes are wonderful for teaching phonological awareness.
These books are good for practicing PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS.
