Early Literacy & Tips for Reading to Children
|
Early Literacy is what children know about reading before they know how to read. Early literacy guides offer simple tips on how to help children grow into strong readers, as well as book suggestions, and tips for making the most of reading time with your child.
Early Literacy Guides (National Institute for Literacy)
The Shining Stars and Dad's Playbook booklets are designed to guide parents with helping their children develop reading skills. Each booklet includes age-appropriate activites and checklists.
