Course Overview
Parents play a critical role in supporting their child to develop the emergent literacy skills that lay the foundation for academic success. But are they aware of what these key skills are and how they can most effectively nurture them?
Drawing on content from the Hanen guidebook, I’m Ready! How to Prepare Your Child for Reading Success, this e-Seminar shows professionals how they can support parents to nurture their child’s early literacy during shared book reading and everyday activities and conversations. Participants learn how to coach parents to use practical, evidence based strategies for building the following emergent literacy skills::
- Conversation
- Vocabulary
- Story comprehension
- Print knowledge
- Sound awareness
Highlights
- A step-by-step coaching framework — for helping parents implement research-based literacy-facilitating strategies
- Checklists and planning sheets — to share with parents to help them apply the strategies during book reading and everyday activities with their child
