Section 1, "How Children Learn To Read and Write," explains general principles that apply to all early age groups. This section discusses how oral and written language interrelate by comparing a child's progress in learning to talk with progress in learning how to write. The section gives examples of how children learn to read and write from experiencing print-rich environments and being part of a literate society. Guidelines for assisting a child's general-knowledge base and intellectual development are included. The remaining sections of the book discuss age-specific aspects of learning to read and write. These sections are: (2) "Your Infant Starts on the Road to Literacy"; (3) "Your Toddler Becomes Aware of Reading and Writing"; (4) "Your Preschooler Gains Understanding of Print"; and (5) "Your Primary-Grader Begins To Read and Write."
