[Katie Anderson]

Are you applying or thinking of apply for the Oregon Department of Education's early literacy grant<http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/pipermail/kids-lib/2013-November/001580.html> next month? Are you applying or thinking of applying for another early literacy grant?  Here are a few resources to help you:

Attached is a list of some research/evidence based early literacy programs in Oregon with names and contact information of library staff willing to talk with you a little about how each program works or worked for them to help you plan your grant funded early literacy project.

Most strong grant applications include statistics and references to research. Here are some places to get those:

*         Reading for Healthy Families: Read the Research<http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/youthsvcs/rfhf.special.topics.aspx>

*         This email I sent on kids-lib<http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/pipermail/kids-lib/2013-June/001427.html> in June about good sources for statistics.

Below are three more books that may be helpful in identifying and building community partnerships to implement your grant funded early literacy project, getting more ideas for early literacy projects, and actually writing the grant application. If you would like to request these or other materials from the Oregon State Library please use your library's established interlibrary loan process or send your full name, the name of your library, complete title information, shipping address, and a phone number to the document delivery department at library.request at state.or.us<mailto:library.request at state.or.us> or (fax) 503-588-7119.
