Early Literacy Program Guidelines

These guidelines support coordinators and facilitators in designing and delivering high-
quality early literacy programming for young children (approximately ages 3–7), prioritizing

language development, print awareness, and family involvement.
1. Program Purpose & Outcomes
• Foster foundational literacy skills: oral language, print awareness, phonemic
awareness, and emergent writing.
• Stimulate curiosity and joy for books through interactive, playful activities.
• Promote consistent family/caregiver involvement in reading and literacy routines at
home.
2. Session Structure & Practices
• Offer sessions of 20–30 minutes combining: interactive read-aloud, song/rhyme,
print-rich games, and child-led exploration.

• Embed early literacy strategies: Sing, Talk, Read, Write, Play, following the five-
practice model.

• Use dialogic reading prompts: questions, predict-guess, “what comes next,”
pointing out print features.
• Provide developmentally appropriate materials and routines aligned with DAP
(Developmentally Appropriate Practice), adapting complexity per age and ability.
3. Environment & Materials
• Maintain a literacy-rich space with accessible books, print-rich labels,
writing/drawing materials, and cozy seating.
• Rotate high-quality children’s books regularly, including culturally diverse and
bilingual titles.
• Integrate playful representations of print across learning centers—menus, labels,
clipboards, signs.
4. Family & Caregiver Engagement
• Communicate simple strategies families can replicate at home: shared reading,
interactive talk, rhymes, library visits.

• Host family literacy events or send-home reading kits to reinforce program
engagement.
5. Staff Training & Instruction
• Staff and volunteers must understand early literacy research, emergent reading

practices, and strategies for reading aloud, questioning, and supporting dual-
language learners.

• Offer periodic coaching, peer observation, and reflection using video or peer
walkthroughs.
6. Assessment & Program Monitoring
• Use informal observations or simple checklists to monitor children’s engagement
and emergent literacy behaviors.
• Track attendance at every session using a sign-in sheet or digital check-in system.
• Distribute a short post-program survey (to parents/caregivers) at the end of each
program to collect feedback on satisfaction, observed literacy growth, and
suggested improvements.
• Share progress summaries with families and adjust instruction accordingly.
7. Inclusion & Equity
• Offer bilingual storytime or translation supports for non-English speaking families.
• Choose books and materials reflecting participant diversity and cultural
backgrounds.
• Modify activities to accommodate children with different language or
developmental needs.
