Subject: New early literacy materials available for downloading at no cost at Washington Learning Systems Website


 
We have just posted a new set of free parent-child early literacy materials, titled "On the Go".  These materials include 14 activities designed to be used outside the home:  in the car, while walking, during bus rides, etc.  The activities encourage early language and literacy development from birth through preschool.  They are appropriate for children with disabilities as well as children who are developing typically.  The development of these materials was supported by Grant H324M020084 from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs.
 
Free reproducible language and early literacy activities
 
Developed by Angela Notari-Syverson, Ph.D. and colleagues
 
To download materials go to www.walearning.com and click on the purple button that says "Free Parent Education Handouts" on the home page.  Look for the "On the Go" file to download the materials in PDF format.
 
 
The new materials are designed to encourage parents to interact with their children while they are "On the Go" to facilitate language, early literacy, and positive parent-child interactions.  The materials include 14 activities as well as accompanying hints for each of the activities about how to modify the activities to meet the specific developmental needs of the child.
