Literacy learning in the early years of school. Fact sheet 7/2020 (for parents/carers)

Young children learn important 'emergent literacy' skills before they start school. Parents and carers can give their children a great start to becoming literate in the early years. For examples see our Early Childhood Development fact sheet. The focus of this fact sheet is on literacy learning in the early years of school: from Kindergarten (Foundation) to Year 2.
