Telecollaborative Project
A compilation of research, strategies, and resources for teachers and parents!
The Early Literacy Project is part of the Telus Learning Connection Project Centre (www.2learn.ca) and started as a dream of two teachers, Carol and Terry. Initial work on this web site began January, 1999, with the input of early literacy resources (poems, raps, chants, fingerplays, rhymes) and subsequent additions of strategies, research, and classroom implications.
