Bridging the Literacy Gap
Increase literacy skills through meaningful interactions
It’s no secret that the pandemic impacted early literacy, and we know literacy skills are the foundation for future success. And it is within the power of educator-child interactions that we can bridge the literacy gap in our youngest learners. Recent research shows that when teachers create warm, supportive environments (Emotional Support), effectively manage classrooms (Classroom Organization), and provide engaging instruction (Instructional Support), children’s language and literacy skills soar. It’s not just about reading books; it’s about fostering a love for language, boosting phonological awareness, and building strong vocabulary.
