Features: Currently, the main problem in early reading education is equating early reading with early literacy, overlooking the valuable opportunities for oral language learning during the critical period of language development. Early reading is not just about (reading and recognizing characters) in the traditional sense; it also involves the connection between seen symbols, signs, pictures, animations, and text with heard words. It is not limited to reading books but also includes understanding vivid images from television, videos, and multimedia in daily life. It is not just about children interacting with text but also involves interactions among parents and children, teachers and children, and children with each other. This book systematically reveals the interpretation of early reading for infants and toddlers under new concepts, as well as strategies for cultivating early reading skills at different stages for 2–6-year-old children. It provides practical and actionable methods while also elaborating on the theoretical foundations behind them, offering scientific guidance for early childhood education institutions and families to implement early reading for infants and toddlers.
