From the meaningful relationships that build when sharing stories to the empowering feeling of writing a first word, early literacy is an adventure and an accomplishment. It is essential that early childhood professionals understand developmentally appropriate ways to foster early literacy and literacy learning for children from birth through third  grade. In this course, educators also can become proficient at evaluating children's literature and analyzing issues and strategies related to the appropriate use of technology to promote literacy learning in young children.
