Abstract
Learning to read and write are core elements for communication. Most humans learn the skills needed for learning to read and write in the preschool environment. Emergent literacy skills encompass all of the foundational skills learned by a pre-reader before she or he learns to read or write. The purpose of this literature review is to determine a common factor that influences emergent literacy skill acquisition across a broad range of early literacy topics. Having reviewed the research literature regarding various components of emergent literacy, environmental print, digital devices, English language learners, and socio-economic status, it is possible to identify the aspects of pre-reading that are necessary for becoming a proficient reader. Findings from the research indicate that authentic language interactions between an adult and child in the emergent years are the most influential factors contributing to emergent literacy skills that later translate into reading success.
