Literacy
learning centers are important in shaping and creating literate children. They
do this by encouraging role plays, imagination, and dramatic plays among the
children. One can focus on various aspects of developing literacy among
children. This could be phonological awareness, oral language, or vocabulary.
All these three are key elements in literacy development in children. They are
developed in stages where one aspect has to be developed first before the
other. For example, phonological awareness has to be developed first in
children. Through the ability to pronounce various sounds, the children can
then develop a language. This is later followed by the learning of vocabularies
for that particular language. Learning is a process in which the crucial part
is experienced in the early childhood stages. As a result, one should take care when imparting knowledge to the young ones.
