What to know:

The family is a baby’s first teacher. A child’s development during the first five years of its life is the foundation for learning through the rest of its life. The earliest literacy experiences prepare a child with the language, vocabulary, and cognitive learning capacity that can set the course for a lifetime of greater success, equity, and opportunity.

Literacy begins at birth and 85% of brain development occurs before age five. By five, a child’s language and vocabulary skills have formed the foundation for literacy and school success.
