This week I chose to review the zero to three website.
This website is available at
www.zerotothree.org.
Zero to three is a national non-profit organization that provides information to support the health and development of infants and toddlers.
The zero to three organization offers a variety of parenting resources and new information.
Other topics include behavior and development, maltreatment, care and education, and public policy.
As the importance of literacy in young children is becoming more prominent, I found a video in the Zero to three website regarding language interesting. A new resource available this week is a video “Promoting Early Language and Literacy Development”. This video shows how a child’s success is directly related to early language and literacy. As parent’s and caregivers play a major role in a child’s awareness and understanding of language, this video communicates the importance of providing parent’s with information and tools to encourage early language and literacy. This video communicates the benefits of investing in early language and literacy beginning at birth and providing trainings for early childhood professionals to support language development. By supporting language and literacy development from birth, children will need less intervention and support later in school. I found this video to be very informative for all professionals, parents and policymakers
I really like this website! I too have used it in the past but have not fully explored it. I loved the baby brain link. Fascinating to me.
ReplyDeleteAngie. I plan to view the vieo on your website. I agree with you that the younger children are exposed to reading the better they will enjoy and realize the importance of reading.
ReplyDeleteThe video sounds like an awesome video. Early language and literacy is very important for a child. This sets the path for them talking, reading, and comprehending. Zero to three is a great site.
