<font face="georgia,serif">Greetings RFHF folks!<br><br>If anyone is interested in some "sound bites" that would be helpful for talking with parents, the National Literacy Trust in the UK did a relatively short <a href="http://www.literacytrust.org.uk/assets/0000/6770/F2F_literature_highlights.pdf">literature review</a> of studies on early literacy over the last decade or so, and the review is pretty easy to decipher and pull out items to share with families with whom we work. <br>
<br>I hope you can find some useful things in it!<br><br>Cheers,<br>Tasha<br clear="all"></font><span style="font-family: georgia,serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><br>Natasha Forrester, Youth Librarian</span><br style="font-family: georgia,serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">
