ECA Community of Practice – Literacy and Language in Early Childhood

$1,091.13$982.02 Member Price

In this Community of Practice, you will reflect on and identify the practical ways literacy and language can be woven into everyday moments and rich environments. As children come to ECEC settings with a range of experiences—some may know and speak multiple languages—it is important educators understand the process and can support young children in learning language.
