These materials include twenty home and
community activities for adults and children birth to three that
encourage early language and literacy development. They are
appropriate for children with disabilities as well as children
who are developing typically.
Each of the twenty activities includes an
activity description, and hints for making the activity fun and
developmentally appropriate. In addition to the activities, you
can download an activity checklist that helps parents and
caregivers notice their children's skills, and also cues adults
to examine and grow their own interactions with children.
The materials are specifically designed to
address the three key skills of 1) language development, 2)
sounds and rhythms, and 3) general book and print awareness.
The files are in PDF format to allow easy
and secure downloading.
