[Conntech] Spanish birth-to-three parent-child early literacy activity materials available (finally!) at the Washington Learning Systems website at no cost

[Mary Maddox]

The Spanish language version of the birth-to-three parent-child activity materials are now available for downloading on the Washington Learning Systems website.  We had anticipated they might be available earlier, but we wanted to be sure the Spanish language materials were linguistically correct.  Thanks once again to El Centro De La Raza in Seattle for their help in arranging a careful review.
 
The development of these materials was supported by Grant H324M020084 from the U.S. Department of Education , Office of Special Education Programs

To download materials go to www.walearning.com and click on the purple button that says "Free Parent Education Handouts" on the home page.
 
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.  
 
·        A brief introduction to the materials
 
·        Activities and hints for adapting them to the child's specific needs
 
·        Activity checklists for self-evaluation by the adult
 
 
The materials are made available by Angela Notari-Syverson and colleagues, and may be copied and distributed as long as they are not sold.
