Technical Assistance
A major focus of CELL is technical assistance on early literacy practices for young children birth to 6 years of age. We are pleased to make available on-line technical assistance for promoting the use of CELL practices. We have a variety of different methods, materials, and practices that can be used to conduct training on early literacy. Available materials are organized in categories that will make it easy to locate relevant information for training purposes. Two technical assistant specialists Allison Jones (Send Email) and Wendy Highland (Send Email) will be glad to assist you in finding the information you need.
