Celebrating Literacy for Infants, Toddlers & Twos

Two complete videos on one DVD! From the StoryQUEST project at Sonoma State University, these training videos-Celebrating Language and Literacy for Infants, Toddlers, & Twos and Strategies for Early Language and Literacy Development-are perfect companions for programs implementing The Creative Curriculum® for Infants, Toddlers & Twos.

Celebrating Language and Literacy for Infants, Toddlers, & Twos shows how early literacy skills develop within the context of caring relationships and experiences with families, providers, and communities. It provides examples of the many ways that language and literacy develop in a variety of cultures and languages, and demonstrates how adults can help very young children "read" the world around them.

Strategies for Early Language and Literacy Development shows how everyday routines, experiences, and environments provide the tools for literacy. You then see how adults can use these tools to help infants, toddlers, and twos develop a strong foundation for later learning through:

• Nurturing relationships
• Listening and talking
• Discovering the world through words and experiences
• Modeling
• Symbols
• Sounds
• Rhyme, rhythm, and songs
• Experiences with print and writing
• Enjoyable experiences with books

Captioned in English and Spanish. A User's Guide is included that provides guidance for using these videos in professional development workshops as well as in workshops for families.
