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

 

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

 

Spanish Infant-Toddler language and early literacy activities:  Free and
Reproducible

 

Developed by Angela Notari-Syverson, Ph.D, and Judy Challoner, M.S.

Illustrations: Don Syverson

 

 

To download materials go to www.walearning.com
<http://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.
