Which statement about literacy strategies is true?

• A. Literacy strategies can be demonstrated through posters, storytelling, and finger plays
• B. Literacy strategies rely only on worksheets
• C. Literacy strategies require no visual aids
• D. Literacy strategies are only taught in primary grades

Answer: (A)

Literacy strategies in early childhood work best when they are interactive and use print in meaningful, everyday contexts. The statement is true because posters provide visible print and letters in the environment, helping children notice and recall letters and words. Storytelling builds listening skills, vocabulary, comprehension, and the ability to sequence events, which are foundational for later reading. Finger plays combine movement with language, rhythm, and body involvement, supporting phonemic awareness and memory in a fun, engaging way. Together, these approaches show that effective early literacy instruction uses a variety of activities, not just one method. Relying only on worksheets misses the hands-on, social, and visual aspects that young children rely on. Visual aids are helpful, not absent, and literacy learning occurs well beyond primary grades, across the entire early childhood period.
