What is the Early Literacy Checklist?
The Early Literacy Checklist is a reflective self-assessment tool enabling programs and specialists working with young children:

  • to better evaluate to what extent they support literacy in young children
  • to better evaluate to what extent they support literacy within families
  • to better evaluate to what extent they engage in community partnerships in supporting child and family literacy

Who Should Use the Early Literacy Checklist?
Any early years program or service which includes:

  • Ontario Early Years Centres, child care centres, home child care agencies and associations, libraries, family resource programs and kindergarten.
  • The checklist is adaptable to the varied programs
