Join us as we explore the journey children take in becoming literate from infancy through age 5. We will look at emergent literacy, how to choose and use books with young children and discuss how activities like play and conversation support literacy development. Discussion of the latest research on dual language learners will be included.

Participants in this workshop will receive 3 credit hours for OCFS training category 1: Principles of Early Childhood Development.
