[blindkid] Right to Literacy workshop info

[Carol Castellano]

Hi Everyone,

I just received this information from the 
presenter of one of the exciting workshops that 
will be held at the NOPBC Parents Seminar at 
Convention.  Hope to see you there.

Early literacy is helping children – beginning in 
infancy – build critical exploratory, book 
sharing, and language skills that pave the way 
for reading braille, print, or both when they are 
older. In the 11:00 session, “The Right to 
Literacy for Young Blind/VI Children,” presenters 
Ann Burgess and Barbara Bailey offer content 
suitable for parents, teachers, and early 
interventionists of infants, toddlers, and 
primary grade children who are blind, or have 
multiple disabilities. This is not a session on 
how to teach reading; instead, we will help 
participants build a strong foundation for literacy development.
