parent-child early literacy materials titled "On the Go". These
materials include 14 activities designed to be used outside the home: in
the car, while walking, during bus rides, etc. The activities encourage
early language and literacy development from birth through preschool.
They are appropriate for children with disabilities as well as children who are
developing typically. The development of these materials was supported by
Grant H324M020084 from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special
Education Programs.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
