MORAYFIELD, Australia - AussieJournal -- Early literacy is about more than just learning to read—it's about developing a love for stories, recognising sounds, and building communication skills. At ACE Academy Early Learning, we focus on fostering these skills through play, storytelling, and engaging activities. Here's a look at key literacy milestones and how you can support your child's development.
1. Recognising Sounds and Rhymes (Ages 2-3)
Before children can read, they begin recognising and playing with sounds. Singing nursery rhymes, reading rhyming books, and playing sound-matching games help develop phonemic awareness—the ability to hear and manipulate sounds in words.
2. Learning to Recognise Letters (Ages 3-4)
Children start identifying letters, particularly those in their own name. Fun activities like alphabet puzzles, tracing letters in sand, or pointing out letters on signs can support letter recognition and familiarity with the alphabet.

3. Building Vocabulary and Comprehension (Ages 3-5)
As children engage in conversations and listen to stories, their vocabulary expands. Asking open-ended questions like, "What do you think happens next?" encourages critical thinking and comprehension skills.
4. Pretend Reading and Storytelling (Ages 4-5)
Children begin "reading" by retelling familiar stories using pictures or memorised phrases. Encouraging pretend reading helps build confidence and a deeper understanding of how stories work.
5. Writing and Early Spelling (Ages 4-6)
Young children experiment with writing by drawing, scribbling, and copying letters. Providing opportunities to write—such as making shopping lists or drawing name tags—encourages early literacy development.
At ACE Academy Early Learning, we nurture children's early literacy skills through engaging, play-based activities. Visit our website to learn more about our daycare services in Morayfield and Morayfield East - https://aceacademyelc.com.au/.
