When does literacy begin ?

Literacy begins the day that you bring your baby home from the hospital. You need to develop literacy through language by speaking with your baby. When you look at the brain there is no section that indicates literacy development, however the Broca's area  that is located in the frontal lobe of the brain controls the production of spoken and written language. This  means that you need to be speaking with your baby "not baby talk" in order for that section of the brain to be developed. Language proceeds literacy have you noticed that children who are able to speak well reads at an early age? When you speak with your baby they will develop a rich vocabulary. Reading to your baby also helps to develop her vocabulary, showing educational videos ,take your baby to different places is a great way to set the stage for pre-reading .
