prereaders
Not yet literate
Prereaders are children who have not yet learned to read, typically preschool-aged.
The term appears most often in educational and publishing contexts: books for prereaders, prereader skills.
Prereading activities prepare children for literacy—recognizing letters, understanding that print carries meaning, following text left to right.
