Every Child Ready to Read 2nd Edition early literacy curriculum. It includes more research and covers the developmental progression of oral language and early literacy skills.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">This is a new course, I have not taken it so have no more information than you about the content, schedule, or rigor of study required. However, I have attended face-to-face trainings by Saroj Ghoting and she is
amazing! For those of you not familiar with her, she is sort-of an early literacy guru in the library community.
