COORDINATED FAMILY AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
EEC APPROVED EVIDENCE-BASED EARLY LITERACY PRACTICES AND MODELS

 
CFCE grantees are required to incorporate the use of evidence-based, EEC approved early literacy practices and models into their parent education and parent-child educational playgroup opportunities. Use of evidence-based early literacy curriculum enhances the capacity of CFCE grantees to help parents promote early literacy and language skill development in their children. Focusing on effective literacy models, EEC strives to create consistency in the strategies that CFCE grantees use to help families cultivate their children‘s language and literacy skills before they enter elementary school.

DIALOGIC AND INTERACTIVE READING - PEER and CROWD Sequences
 PEER sequence - the role of the adult is to:
• P rompt the child with questions
• E valuate the child’s response
• E xpand the response
• R epeat the expansion
CROWD prompts - the adult asks children to:
• C omplete fill-in-the-blank
• R ecall: remember aspects of the book
• O pen-ended: describe in their own words what’s happening in the story
• Wh-: talk about what, where, who, and why aspects of the story
• D istance: make connections to personal experiences outside the story
