[Reading-For-Healthy-Families] Free early literacy materials now in Russian and Somali

[Katie Anderson]

*Please excuse the cross-posting.

Hello!  Washington Learning Systems has translated the "On-the-Go" early literacy activities for parents to use with their children into Russian and Somali.  Previously they had only been in Spanish and English.  You can download them for free at: http://www.walearning.com/parent-tools/on-the-go/.  You may want to explore their website if you have time.  They provide a variety of other resources you may find useful in your work.

Librarians, these make great handouts at storytimes and resources for early literacy parents education sessions.  

Reading for Healthy Families participants, this is one section in the Point-of-Contact materials you received in a binder at your training.

Hopefully these resources will help you reach even more parents with the early literacy message.

Enjoy,
Katie
