Literacy CyberSpace, a Florida Department of Education website, has a Family Literacy page that, among other things, contains significant resources for ILA activities. Literacy CyberSpace provides the following research-based guidelines for parents as they work with their children in ILA activities:
-
Use the time with your child to teach new concepts and skills.
-
Relate the activity to other related topics.
-
Talk to your child and encourage communication.
-
Allow them be independent to develop their own skills.
-
Learn how your child thinks and communicates.
-
Spend time with your child.

Web-Based ILA Resources
The Literacy CyberSpace website provides practical ILA activities for Physical Development, Social and Emotional Development and Language and Literacy Development as well as children’s book lists. The activities have been developed and tested by family literacy practitioners. Here’s what a new Even Start Coordinator said about Literacy CyberSpace: |
I finally got a chance to visit the Literacy CyberSpace website and choose some activities. It is wonderful, especially for babies. I had a hard time thinking of things to do for the babies and toddlers but this site gives you ideas and materials that you can find in the library or around your house. Thank you so much.
