Early Literacy Certification Program
To achieve the Early Literacy Certification, Colusa County early literacy providers participated in half-day training sessions over a seven-month period with Dr. Thomas and the “And Literacy For All” team. These trainings were complemented by monthly check-ins to support ongoing learning and implementation. As part of the certification process, participants developed and implemented an Early Literacy Plan at their sites, incorporating six components of literacy and five areas of reading. Additionally, one of the training sessions focused on Footsteps2Brilliance and how it supports these six components in literacy, providing valuable digital resources to enhance early learning.
