Hello Sylvan, and others,
Here are some family literacy and early childhood education resources:
The learning Ladder -- a free, online reading and writing curriculum for
early childhood educators ("workplace literacy" for early childhood
educators) -- with bridge activities in each module for how to help
parents enhance childrens' literacy at home.
http://www.learningladder.org
Once there, you will need to e-mail the Child Care Careers institute for
a password (free). Also, a modification of this -- for family child
care providers -- is being developed now.
Also, check out the family center on e-square, an electronic village of
adult learners online.
http://alri.org/esquare/esq2/family.html
Please let me know if you find these useful.
Thanks,
David
