Connecting Early Literacy to Health- Healthy Growing Bodies and Able Young Readers, by Vera Meyerholtz

This session is sponsored by Nemours Bright Start!

The recent interest in the link between literacy and health status has identified reading ability as the strongest predictor, more so than factors such as income, race, or educational level. Join us as we explore the findings and demonstrate the impact of literacy on the overall health of children, adolescents and adults.

Since reading ability can be improved, this webinar will place an emphasis on powerful early literacy instruction in the classroom. Participants will learn to promote healthy children and support lifelong learning with guidance, support and critical strategies during the early years. This webinar will also explore the role of parents and caregivers in future reading success, providing tips to involve, engage and empower families as they enhance learning and development.
