…literacy is developing long before children actually crack the code, and language experiences in infancy help to build the language skills that two- and three-year-olds acquire, which, in turn, build the foundation for subsequent reading skills. As an example, a young child who doesn’t have experience picking up, say, Cheerios with her pincer grasp will, as a toddler, not have success holding a chubby crayon to scribble and write.
