Early Literacy Calendar

As a parent or caregiver, you play the important role of being your child’s first teacher. You can promote literacy by teaching your child about reading and writing before they can actually read or write.

One of the best gifts you can give your child is a daily dose of your attention, whether it’s a warm lap or shared reading time. This will improve your child’s memory, build self-esteem, and establish a love for learning. By fostering early literacy, you are setting the stage for your child to succeed academically and in life.

This calendar is full of ideas for developing reading skills that will last a lifetime. Visit any Omaha Public Library location or omahalibrary.org to find great resources to help your children discover and explore the world around them.
