If you've poked around this website at all recently, you may have noticed some additional pages: we've updated the "Every Child Ready to Read" section to include the 2nd revision: aka the "5 Practices."
The Association of Library Service to Children has a great page of talking points for using when talking to parents of babies up to 12 months of age. It includes video links, brain information, booklists, play ideas, and more! This is an amazing resource for anyone needing ideas on how to share early literacy information with the parents of our youngest patrons. Check it out!
Note: CLEL will be posting a new Advocacy Tip every month. To see all the tips, click on the "Advocacy Tip" tag above.
