It is quite common to hear education experts state that the most important gift we can give a future generation is the ability to read and write. When a child is born, that is when he/she begins the journey towards literacy. The interactions that children have with adults and other children in the environment help to develop the language skills that will ultimately lead towards literacy.

Keywords : Literacy; Language Skills; Reading and Writing.
