Features: Currently, the main problem in early literacy education is equating early literacy with early reading, overlooking the valuable opportunities for oral language development during the critical period of language acquisition. Early literacy is not just about traditional reading and recognizing letters; it also involves the connection between seen symbols, signs, pictures, animations, and texts with heard words. It is not limited to reading books but also includes understanding vivid visual images from television, videos, and multimedia in daily life. It is not merely 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 literacy for infants and toddlers under new concepts, as well as strategies for cultivating early literacy in children aged 2–6 at different stages. 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 literacy programs for infants and toddlers.
