<p class="MsoNormal">Hi! I just learned about an effort to provide <a href="http://www.walearning.com/products/language-is-the-key/">
Washington Learning System’s <i>Language is the Key</i></a> early literacy training statewide (read article below).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You may want to be familiar with <i>Language is the Key</i> to support early childhood professionals and the families they serve in your community, but it is very expensive so I wanted to let you know it is available in
<a href="http://catalog.osl.state.or.us/search~S2?/Xlanguage+is+the+key&SORT=D/Xlanguage+is+the+key&SORT=D&SUBKEY=language+is+the+key/1%2C18%2C18%2CE/frameset&FF=Xlanguage+is+the+key&SORT=D&1%2C1%2C">

Spanish</a> to check out from the State Library. Each item includes two DVDs, “Talking and Books” and “Talking and Play”, and a resource guide. The Spanish version has the resource guide in English and DVDs in Spanish. This curriculum does not conflict with
<i>Every Child Ready to Read</i>, it focus specifically and intensively on dialogic reading techniques while reading and playing with young children.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You may also want to be familiar with Washington Learning System’s other
<a href="http://www.walearning.com/resources/">free early literacy resources</a> all of which are in English and Spanish. “On-The-Go”, which was used in Oregon’s Reading for Healthy Families project, is also available in Somali, Vietnamese, Russian, Burmese,
and Mandarin.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you would like to request <i>Language is the Key</i> or other materials from the Oregon State Library please use your library's established interlibrary loan process (e.g. OCLC or ALA request form). Otherwise, send your full name, the
name of your library, complete title information, shipping address, and a phone number to the document delivery department at
<a href="mailto:library.request@state.or.us">library.request@state.or.us</a> or (fax) 503-588-7119. Items will be checked out to your library, not to you personally, for 4 weeks (print materials) or 2 weeks (videos). Materials will be delivered via mail or
Orbis Cascade Alliance Courier, and you may return them the same way.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><em>Language is the Key</em> is a good match for Oregon. First, LK meets the criteria for an evidence-based program and has been shown to be effective with a variety of socio-economic and ethnic groups. The program
is available in many languages and can provide a vehicle for engaging parents who do not speak English.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">Each trainee left with a set of<em> Language is the Key</em> DVDs in English and other languages as needed (e.g., Spanish, Tagalog, Korean, Mandarin, Vietnamese). They will each return to their locales and train their
colleagues, who will in turn train parents and volunteers in their communities.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">The Oregon Center for Career Development in Childhood Care and Education (OCCD) is building on the initial training as they expand the program to additional communities. Their approach, Language is the Key: Promoting
Intentional Adult-Child Interactions will include trainer scripts, additional slides to support trainers, and other materials tailored to Oregon’s needs. They will be reproducing the
<em>Language is the Key</em> videos in order to train more trainers. OCCD also plans to translate the CAR acronym into new languages to support Oregon’s increasingly diverse families (e.g., Russian).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">On one of our training trips we spent four days in Roseburg and Riddle in south-central Oregon. It’s a place of enchanting natural beauty with proximity to mountain wilderness and the ocean. But like many rural areas
there is long history of unemployment and poverty. We met some kind, compassionate, learned, and busy people who are committed to preparing children for success in Kindergarten and reading at third grade. It was an honor share in their work.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">We are looking forward to visiting other states to conduct similar trainings in 2015.<o:p></o:p></p>
