Why Early Literacy Matters

When reading clicks early, everything else gets easier, but most kids never get that chance.

Decades of research in education and neuroscience show that early reading experiences shape a child's brain, confidence, and lifelong success. LitRoot brings that research into every family's home.

Neural pathways for reading start diverging as early as age 3.

Harvard Medical School, 2025

Early experiences (talking, listening, reading aloud) literally build the brain's language circuits.

By age 5, a child's brain is 90% developed, yet formal literacy instruction often starts later.

Harvard Center on the Developing Child

The 4-6 window is when the brain is most ready to learn sounds, letters, and words.

66%

of parents worry their child isn't reaching full potential.

Talker Research, 2024

LitRoot helps parents translate that concern into action, guided by science, not guesswork.

LitRoot gives families the tools to change that before the window closes.

Sources include Harvard University, the U.S. Department of Education, and the Annie E. Casey Foundation.

Early reading confidence lasts a lifetime.
