Everything I Really Need to Know I Learned From My Elementary School Reading List
This is an opportunity for students to consider decisions they might make as parents now that they know more about the development of literacy. Their parental literacy plans are then compared to the Every Child Ready to Read (ECRR) project’s recommendations.
Overview: The ECRR is a campaign through public libraries to help adults build literacy skills in their preliterate children. In 2010, ECRR updated their recommendations from six early literacy components to five practices .

Instructions: Create a parental literacy plan by listing the five most important things you would try to do to promote your child’s early literacy development. Then compare your plan to that espoused by Every Child Ready to Read (ECRR): Talking, Singing, Reading, Writing, and Playing (see resource: Every Child Ready to Read @ Your Library Download Every Child Ready to Read @ Your Libraryfor descriptions).
Where does your plan overlap with ECRR’s plan?
Why do you think other things were left out of either plan?
Reflect on the simplicity of the ECRR plan?
How does the intended audience—parents in library storytimes—make a difference?
Describe two strengths and two weaknesses of each plan.
Be sure your paper is 2-3 pages and formatted according to APA guidelines including in-text citations and a reference page citing any of the course resources (such as your textbook or journal articles) assigned for the week that you used.
