Language and literacy are distinct yet highly related components of early learning. Through language development, children acquire the tools to communicate ideas with others. Children develop literacy skills as they learn how words, books and print work. Very young children can develop language and literacy skills through storytelling and imaginative play. As literacy skills develop, children learn not only the technical skills involved in reading and writing (the alphabet, how to spell, and how punctuation works) but also the way in which symbols represent real or imagined objects or ideas.
