How to Support Literacy Skills in Children

In this video, I share practical Montessori inspired ways to support the foundations of reading and writing in young children — long before formal schooling begins.

We explore the two key areas that underpin literacy development:
• cognitive readiness for language and symbols
• the motor foundations needed for writing (hand strength, coordination, control)

You’ll learn simple, everyday ways to support your child’s emerging literacy, including:
• introducing rich language and books from an early age
• building phonological awareness through play
• supporting vocabulary and storytelling
• preparing the hand for writing through movement and fine-motor activity
• playful language and memory games you can use at home

These principles come from Montessori education and child development.

Thank you for watching!
