Expose your children to early literacy skills, make clean up a breeze, help with sorting, and save on frustration when searching for toys – all by creating a print rich environment!
Why is this important?
It exposes young learners to:
-letters
-words
-models that words have meaning
As kids get older they will:
-identify the letters
-understand the letters have sounds
-see that the letters, when put together, make a word
-hear that the sounds, when put together, make a word
-learn that print is another way to communicate that has an important purpose
**All of this helps foster the skills they will need to become readers**
How to do it:
-Labels can be printed or hand written
-Adding a picture to match the label will help young children identify what the word is and know where the toys belong
-Pictures can be found online and should match the specific toys your children have -Laminating the labels will help them to hold up longer
