Never Too Soon for Literacy: Paving the Way to Literacy Success e-Seminar

Facilitator: Kim Rizzetto

Literacy has long been aimed at older children, but recent studies have shown that it’s the early literacy skills gained before age 5 that truly set the path to sustained achievement in later years. As a professional working with these young children, you are invested in their long term success at school and at life and one of the ways to give children a strong foundation for the future is by teaching them emergent literacy skills through book-reading. Establishing a child’s reading skills when he is still developing his language abilities is a challenge, one made easier by the realization that literacy starts the same way as language—through communication and interaction. The Never Too Soon for Literacy: Paving the Way to Literacy Success e-seminar addresses the importance of emergent literacy and provides evidence-based strategies that build both language and literacy in children that are typically developing, have mild language delays or are at-risk of language delays.
This e-Seminar is 3 sessions. Attending all 3 sessions is essential for full benefit.
