Activities for Caregivers and Young Children in English and Spanish

Developed by Angela Notari-Syverson, Ph.D. and Kristin Rytter, Ph.D,

with Judy Challoner, Faith Haertig Sadler, Young Sook Lim, Ph.D., Marilyn Sturm, and Rodd Hedlund (2005).

These materials include forty-six home and community activities for adults and children that encourage early language and literacy development in young children.  They are appropriate for children with disabilities as well as children who are developing typically.

Each of the forty-six activities includes three pages: 1)  An activity description, 2)  Hints for making the activity fun and developmentally appropriate, and 3)  A brief self-evaluation form that cues parents and other caregivers to notice their children’s skills, and also cue adults to examine and grow their own interactions with children.

The materials are specifically designed to address the three key skills of 1) language development, 2) phonological awareness, and 3) general print awareness.
