N2  - The project, “Understanding Children’s Early Literacy Development: The Nature and Role of Parental Support” focused on exploring how parents can support their children’s early literacy development and on examining research on the importance of supporting early literacy development. The literature review also focused on reading theories, critical factors in early literacy acquisition, and ways to support early literacy at home. Critical factors in early literacy acquisition include motivating learning, readiness for learning, non-­‐traditional Western literacy practices, indigenous early literacy, and play. Oral language, reading through shared book reading and environmental print, phonological awareness, letter knowledge, and how the home environment and parental help support literacy are also included. The project concludes with a PowerPoint and script intended for parents and colleagues
