Pursuing Early Literacy: Today’s Challenge
Pursuing literacy is not the only strategy for encouraging holistic developmental growth, but it is one of the most popular. Because literacy is connected to both language & learning, our perspective on each of these will impact our view of literacy.

Pursuing Early Literacy: How We Can Help
There are two ways we can help.
First, be encouraged. Considering the options means you care. You want to choose what is best for your situation. If you’ve ever thought about any of the topics on this site, you are already doing more than you think. Sometimes we make it more complicated than we need to. There really is value in ordinary, daily conversation & interaction. So, we will share stories about ways people are pursuing early literacy without even knowing it.
Second, we want to make it easier for you to know how to identify & seize developmental strategies that promote early literacy in your context. Sometimes we miss moments because we are overwhelmed by opportunities. Choices don’t have to be paralyzing, but that doesn’t mean sorting through them is easy. So, we sort through the options for you, providing free information & summarizing the choices for unique contexts.
