Interested in learning infant sign language, finding new finger plays for your toddler, or discovering ideas to encourage your preschooler to talk or learn letters? Parents can find practical ideas online for providing young children with the building blocks for learning to read, write and talk, thanks to the Center for Early Literacy Learning (CELL). CELL recently published 70 new guides to help parents and practitioners promote early literacy skills of children with disabilities or delays. CELL is a research-to-practice technical assistance center funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs, Research to Practice Division. Its goal is to promote the adoption and sustained use of evidence-based early literacy learning practices by early childhood intervention practitioners, parents, and other caregivers of young children, birth to five years of age, with identified disabilities, developmental delays, and those at-risk for poor outcomes. CELL is a major initiative of the Center for Evidence-Based Practices at the Orelena Hawks Puckett Institute.
