Imagine you're five, and suddenly you can read a whole book, like magic! It's not really magic. Kids learn to read and write quickly because their brains are built for it. When they see letters, their brain connects them to sounds and meanings. This is called phonics. Soon, words become real things that kids understand. Writing works the same way: they start with big shapes, then letters, then whole sentences, all in just a few years.
Examples
- A child traces letters on paper and soon recognizes them when they see them in a book.
- When learning to write, children start with big shapes like circles and squares before making letters.
- A young reader sees the word 'cat' and understands it as a real animal.
