Approximately 1,000 children in the birth to three-year old age group are considered high risk. Supporting these youngest learners with language and literacy skills greatly enhances their future reading success. Early-learning teachers are most often the least experienced in delivering high quality language-based interactions, but are the most influential. ELC coaches will work with GWM1 teachers to develop lesson plans and an implementation calendar, building teaching skills, modeling behavior and practicing new skills. It is established that all infants and toddlers will pick up and mirror the language that their teachers use with them. In the three and four-year old classrooms (GWM2), the teachers will emphasize the four essential reading readiness skills of oral language, letter knowledge, phonological awareness, and beginning writing skills. Families will be impacted by the new language experiences as their children begin to repeat songs and stories heard in the classroom or witness an interaction with an infant and the infant’s responses. Additional free resources are shared with parents such as articles on brain research, early learning, and reading, developmentally appropriate book lists, and reading readiness milestones for children birth to five years old. NBS! is not offered anywhere in Escambia County and combined with the GWM1 project, it will be the first project of this caliber in the nation. The Grow With Me project will be a huge step in the initiative to improve kindergarten readiness for the children of Escambia County.
