Emergent Literacy 24 - 30 months
During the toddler developmental age (18-36 months), toddlers begin the process of learning about print. Caregivers should provide plenty of experiences that involve rhyming, using books, beginning the process of scribbling. Children in this stage are very curious about the world and items around them. Exposing toddlers to books and stories will start them on the road to gaining the necessary literacy skills as they enter into the preschool years.
