Building Literacy Skills Early: The Importance of Pre-K

Strong reading and communication skills begin long before a child opens their first textbook. In fact, early literacy development starts in preschool—through conversations, storytelling, songs, and playful exposure to language. At Little Dreamers Preschool, we know just how important Pre-K is in laying the groundwork for future reading and writing success.

Our Pre-K program introduces children to the building blocks of literacy in a fun, engaging way. From recognizing letters and sounds to learning how to hold a book and follow a story, our students begin forming essential skills that prepare them for kindergarten and beyond. We encourage a language-rich environment where children are exposed to vocabulary, phonics, rhyming, and storytelling daily.

Early literacy is more than just learning to read—it includes:

  • Listening and speaking skills
  • Print awareness (understanding how books and words work)
  • Letter recognition and beginning phonics
  • Vocabulary development
  • A love of stories and books

Research shows that children who attend quality Pre-K programs tend to enter kindergarten with stronger reading readiness and language comprehension. These early gains lead to improved performance throughout elementary school—and even into adulthood.
