Why Literacy Matters in Early Years & Primary Education

Literacy development begins long before formal reading and writing. Through conversation, storytelling, mark-making and play, children develop the foundations they need to become confident communicators.

High-quality literacy resources support:

Oral language and vocabulary development

Phonological and phonemic awareness

Early reading and comprehension

Writing, spelling and fine motor skills

Confidence and enjoyment of literacy

By providing engaging, hands-on experiences, educators can foster positive literacy habits from the very beginning.
