Family and Caregiver Early Literacy Website

As part of our commitment to early reading, Early Years has developed a family and caregiver website to encourage parents and caregivers to explore early literacy in their homes and community.  This website supplements the Family and Caregiver Guide that was released that outlines the vision of early reading in the TDSB in partnership with parents/caregivers and communities.  Both the website and the Guide are led by our vision of parents/caregivers and provide an overview of foundational early reading skills and essential instructional approaches.  Suggestions of strategies for parents and caregivers are shared in both resources that extend, respond and honour children’s competencies in early literacy behaviours.

At the TDSB, educators strive to embed the intentional teaching of foundational reading skills into rich learning experiences that build upon children’s strengths, interests, passions, lived experiences, and identities. An Early Reading Framework outlines the critical components of early reading instruction that aligns with the Ontario Human Rights Commission Right to Read inquiry report and supports the Ministry of Education’s Effective Early Reading Instruction: A Teacher’s Guide.  This Framework is central in the Family and Caregiver Early Literacy Guide and website.  Translated versions of the Family and Caregiver Early Literacy Guide are available on the website.
