The purpose of this chapter is to describe, explain interdisciplinary connections between literacy, health for preschool children, preparing them to enter kindergarten with opportunities to develop both functional, interactive health literacy skills. Emergent literacy is foundational to the development of both functional health literacy, interactive health literacy among children. Enriched, healthy environments for children are fostered by their relationships with parents, peers,, professionals who act as literacy influencers when they use print, electronic books to build functional health knowledge coupled with interactive conversations about health. Preschool children who have access to multimodal literacy materials (e.g., print, electronic), health affordances (e.g., toothbrushes, eyeglasses, hearing aids) will build literacy routines, health habits in tandem. Whole child development is woven from behaviors practiced at consistent times of the day. Emergent literacies that lead to functional, interactive health literacy support child identity, agency through a developmental process. The concepts of executive functioning, information processing,, self-regulation are further realized when children, their literacy influencers practice reading, writing,, speaking about health in various social contexts.
