Our Sweet Little Pre-Reading Guide | Early Literacy Activities for Littles

Our Sweet Little Pre-Reading Guide 📚🐝

Reading begins long before a child reads their first word.

Created by a pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist, this parent-friendly printable helps families nurture the early language and literacy skills that lay the foundation for learning to read—all through books, play, songs, and everyday moments.

Inside, you'll find simple ideas for supporting:

🔤 Letter Awareness — helping littles begin noticing letters in meaningful ways

💬 Language Comprehension — building understanding through books, questions, and conversation

📚 Book Awareness — learning how to engage with and enjoy books

📝 Print Awareness — discovering that words and print carry meaning

🎵 Phonological Awareness — beginning to notice rhymes, rhythms, and sounds in words

No worksheets. No pressure to memorize the alphabet. Just playful, developmentally appropriate ideas you can naturally weave into the moments you're already sharing together.

Perfect for parents, caregivers, early childhood educators, and SLPs looking for simple ways to help littles build strong pre-reading foundations.

Because before children learn to read the words on the page, they're building the language, listening, and literacy skills that help those words come to life. 🤍
