COURSE PRICE AND DURATION
Language development in children at 5-8 years: early literacy and language sounds
By five years, children know that words are made of different sounds and syllables. When they’re listening, they can identify words beginning with the same sound – for example, ‘Mummy made magic marshmallows’. They can also notice words that sound the same and play rhyming games with words like ‘bat’, ‘cat’, ‘fat’, ‘hat’ and ‘mat’.
At 5-6 years, your child might know some or all of the sounds that go with the different letters of the alphabet. This is an important first step in learning to read. At this age, children also learn that single sounds combine together into words. For example, when you put the ‘t’, ‘o’ and ‘p’ sounds together, they make the word ‘top’.
By six years, children start to read simple stories with easy words that sound the way they’re spelled, like ‘pig’, ‘door’ or ‘ball’. They’re also starting to write or copy letters of the alphabet, especially the letters for the sounds and words they’re learning.
By eight years, your child understands what they’re reading. Your child might read on their own, and reading might even be one of their favorite activities. By this age children can also write a simple story.
