What we know about CLLRNet's "National Strategy for Early Literacy"

Discussion is growing within literacy education communities in Canada about a "National Strategy for Early Literacy" that is being developed by the Canadian Language and Learning Research Network (CLLRNet).

Following CLLRNet's invitation to respond to the papers posted on their website, we are posting a policy brief, reflecting our position regarding the direction we believe Canada should go when designing literacy strategy for the nation. Click here to read the brief.

Since CLLRNet is positioning its work as national in scope, we also want to make sure that all of our university and classroom colleagues across Canada have an opportunity to contribute. This blog is offered as a forum for dialogue about how Canada should proceed with any literacy education reform and, as such, to influence the direction of the CLLRNet strategy. We are creating this blog to ensure that diverse perspectives on literacy education are heard.
