Literacy Begins at Home

Posted by Beth Quist | May 09, 2012

Early literacy is developed when we sing a lullaby, listen and respond to a baby’s babbling, say a mealtime prayer, read the directions for making pancakes, or write an email to grandma. All of these meaningful activities help children learn language, vocabulary, and the purpose of print. These are the skills they need to be good readers. Participate in this webinar to find out more about family literacy, consider what you are already doing and learn new ideas. The presenter is Angèle Sancho Passe, author of Is Everybody Ready for Kindergarten? A toolkit for preparing children and families (Redleaf Press, 2010)
