February?s learning topic is expressive language. It is available in English and Spanish attached and online: http://ready2learnoregon.org/newsletters. The articles about early learning topics are relevant statewide and Ready 2 Learn is happy to share them. You may copy and distribute their newsletter as it is or copy their articles into your own newsletter/website as long as you credit the authors of the article and Ready 2 Learn. Please remember that this newsletter created by and for the Ready 2 Learn project in north eastern Oregon so other items in it may be relevant only to people from participating communities, such as liking their FaceBook page to enter contests to win prizes. For the same reason, their local Spanish translation may be different than what you would use in your community.

Happy Friday and please excuse our cross-posting! Colorado Libraries for Early Literacy and the 2015 Bell Awards Selection Committee have announced the five winning titles of the 2015 awards! Head over to the CLEL website (at http://www.clel.org/#!2015-bell-awards-titles/c1wgl or http://www.clel.org > CLEL Bell Awards tab) for the titles and annotations, along with links to one information sheet for each book. The information sheet contains literacy tips and 3-4 activity ideas to extend the book for preschool circle times, library storytimes, or home parent/caregiver and child engagement. You can also find the 2015 shortlists, with 25 high-quality titles, from which the winners were selected. The five winning books consist of one title in each of five categories representing an early literacy practice: Read, Write, Sing, Talk, and Play. The books, in their content, theme, or design, support caregivers' interaction with their children through early literacy practices. Research has shown that engaging children in these practices builds language skills and prepares children to become successful readers. The Bell Awards were created in 2012 to recognize picture books that provide excellent support of early literacy development in young children. Please direct any questions or comments to the Bell Awards Committee at clelbellawards at gmail.com Thank you for all you do to promote early literacy in your communities!
