Supporting Early Literacy at Home: A Parents’ Guide is an online resource designed to provide information for parents and caregivers so that they can support their children’s early literacy development. Research shows that parent/caregiver involvement is the number one predictor of early literacy success as well as future academic success. The guide provides information and strategies that will equip parents and caregivers with tools to support children from birth through the beginning years of school. Each module includes a video introduction, resources to view,resources to read, and a place to reflect and respond.

The guide does not require a login, and the link can be added to the webpages hosted by districts, schools, and professional organizations. Below is the link to this resource guide:
