- Print Awareness, Narrative Skills, and Dialogic Reading
- Phonological Awareness, Letter Knowledge, and Phonological Awareness Games
- The trainers and the training sessions will be approved and certified by the Oregon Registry for professional development in childhood care and education. If you are interested or enrolled in the Oregon Registry program, this training will provide you with Set One hours.
- Training in point-of-contact materials about reading books, dialogic reading, phonological awareness games, and the six early literacy skills.
- Training in working with high risk families and conducting family outreach.
- A complete RFHF Resource Kit, free of charge, with presentation guide, training scripts, handouts, power points, and early literacy resource materials. You will keep your RFHF Resource Kits after the project is over, and may continue providing early literacy educational opportunities for families in your community.
