Description
Undergraduate Early Childhood and Elementary Education candidates enrolled in Reading Methods at Northwestern State University, Gallaspy College of Education and Human Development, participate each semester in a service-learning project designed to facilitate emergent literacy development among three- and four-year-old children. The project is done in partnership with NSU Child and Family Network and the Natchitoches Area Chamber of Commerce as a part of the Natchitoches School Readiness Project. The goal of the School Readiness Project is to work with childcare centers, children, and families, providing support and resources to increase literacy knowledge and development for school readiness. Reading Methods candidates contribute by designing and creating Family Take-home Literacy Bags to donate to childcare centers involved in the project. The take-home literacy bags contain a children’s literature book, activities for parents to use while reading the book their children and the supplies needed for the activities.
