Course Description: Imagine a world where every moment becomes an opportunity for a child to engage with literacy—through song, play, and daily routines. This course will help you harness those moments to nurture early literacy for infants, toddlers, and young children who are blind or have low vision. Using the Laptime and Lullabies Kit, you’ll gain practical tools and strategies to collaborate with teams, incorporate developmentally appropriate activities, and explore new possibilities for literacy-rich experiences.
