Past Engagement
Fall 2023
In 2023 the Oregon Legislature passed a bill called the Early Literacy Success Initiative. This law directed the Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC) to develop a Birth Through Five Literacy Plan. The plan will offer ways for partners, program staff, and community groups to support families to help children ages birth through five develop language, early writing, and listening skills.
DELC is partnering with Oregon’s Kitchen Table to hear from people across the state about this topic. Share what you think here.
If you work for an early learning partner, program, or provider, or a community group supporting families with children ages birth through five, join us for a community conversation.
