Washington Learning Systems

Language and Early Literacy Activities: Free and Reproducible

Washington Learning Systems is making available, at no cost, activities for supporting the literacy of young children (0-5) in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Somali, Burmese, and Russian. These materials are appropriate for children with disabilities as well as children who are developing typically and can be used effectively in home, community, and educational settings. Each activity includes a description and hints for making the activity fun and developmentally appropriate. An activity checklist can be used to help family members and caregivers notice skill development and to examine and grow their own interactions with children.

The materials are made available by Angela Notari-Syverson and colleagues, and may be copied and distributed as long as they are not sold. To download materials go to http://www.walearning.com and click on the button that says “Literacy Resources” on the tool bar at the top of the page.
