Creating a Family-Friendly Early Literacy Website

Scenario

The early learning center where you teach is holding a family  meeting to talk about using technology to promote early literacy. In  advance of the meeting, your director asks for suggestions of different  ways to provide ongoing support to families. You enthusiastically  suggest creating a family-friendly website with the theme of  “Technology, Early Literacy & Young Children” that can be unveiled  at the meeting. Your director and fellow staff members are equally  enthusiastic so you volunteer to create the initial website. Together  you decide to include relevant research findings, including benefits and  cautions in using technology with young children; guidelines for screen  time, devices, and media; recommended ideas and activities for using  technology to foster early literacy development; and recommended  guidelines and apps for early literacy learning. To make the website a  go-to for all families in your early learning center, you decide to  provide content that addresses children throughout the early childhood  years, from birth through third grade.
