 * WHAT IS LITERACY? **

Literacy is the integration of skills such as reading, writing, speaking and listening. Literacy is generally based around culture and therefore is essential for all languages to allow individuals to communicate and function within their society. Early literacy development begins shortly after birth until around the age of three, this critical time of development is crucial in a child’s life and will subsequently effect how they progress in later schooling years.
