A young boy wants to write a story, but while he knows his letters, he doesn't know how to spell many words. Soon he discovers that all of us, including him, have what we need to write our own perfect story.
BostonPL_Write: 13 eBooks to Support Early Literacy
Writing is one of the five early literacy practices outlined by the Every Child Ready to Read initiative. Before children can write, they must develop the fine motor skills that will enable them to hold and manipulate writing implements. When babies and toddlers practice turning pages, lift flaps, trace their fingers along lines, or point to specific objects, they begin to develop these motor skills. Preschoolers develop the fine motor skills they will need to write by tracing lines with their fingers, pointing out small objects on pages, drawing, and learning about shapes. (Letters, after all, consist of shapes and lines.) They also begin to learn that written words help us communicate. Some of the books on this list will encourage preschoolers to hone their own skills, while others tell stories of kids like them who are learning how and why to write.
