I am working on this OER text and I have a few chapters in draft at this point. I cannot get them all to upload into Google Docs, so I have attached the current version in Word documents here. If you cannot access these, please feel free to email me and I can send them to you in a different format. The sources for these chapters are still just URLs (they will be turned into properly formatted CC attributions).

The Early Literacy Journey: Supporting and Celebrating Young Learners


"The Early Literacy Journey: Supporting and Celebrating Young Learners" provides an overview of language and literacy development in the early years, from birth through preschool. It examines the critical role that these years play in the emergence of literacy. All aspects of this area of development, reading, writing, speaking, and listening are explored and considered. This text was adapted from an OER text, "Early Childhood Literacy: Engaging and Empowering Emergent Readers and Writers, Birth-Age 5," written by Schull, C., La Croix, L., Miller, S., Austin, K., Kidd, J.
