Reference no: EM13199777

What we know:

Literacy development starts early in life and is highly correlated with school achievement.
All of the domains of a child's development -physical, social-emotional, cognitive, language and literacy-are interrelated and interdependent.
The more limited a child's experiences with language and literacy the more likely he or she will have difficulty learning to read.
Key early literacy predictors of reading and school success include oral language, Alphabetic Code, and print knowledge.
Well-conceived standards for child outcomes, curriculum content, and teacher preparation help establish clarity of purpose and a shared vision for early literacy education.
Increased demands for program accountability are often heavily focused on assessments of children's early literacy development.
Highly capable teachers are required to implement today's more challenging early literacy curriculum.
Teacher knowledge, respect and support for the diversity of children's families, cultures, and linguistic backgrounds are important in early literacy development.

Policy recommendations:

All children should have access to early childhood programs with strong literacy components that include clear adaptations for children with special needs.
Early literacy curricula and teaching practices should be evidence-based, integrated with all domains of learning, and understandable to staff members.
Early literacy standards should be established that articulate with K-12 programs and reflect consistency and continuity with overall program goals.
Early literacy assessment should use multiple methods and use the information to improve both teaching and the total preschool program.
Standards for early childhood professionals should require staff to meet early literacy instructional standards.
Parent involvement programs should have a strong early literacy component that guides parents and caregivers in providing early literacy experiences at home.
Support for English Language Learners should be specified and provided in both the home language and English where feasible.
