edition of <i>Every Child Ready to Read®</i>, an initiative of the American Library Association. By the end of the class, you should be able to recognize what the early literacy components look like for each age-level of children, newborn to two-year-olds,
2 and 3 year olds and 4 and 5 year olds, and to demonstrate how the components and practices can be applied while sharing books with young children.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
