The National Black Child Development website can take you to a lot of other sites that gives a lot of information. The one that stood out to me was the Foundation for Child Development. The FCD focuses on the disadvantage child and their well being. They have three programs that they promote. They support PreK-3rd Education, Child Well-Being Index, and New American Children. The one that caught my attention was PreK-3rd Education. This program focuses on children up to age eight. Children that fall behind have a slim chance of catching up.
The website gave information about books written by African Americans and they have the books separated by their age group. They also give some information about each book and a picture of the book.

Chastity,
ReplyDeleteFocusing on children at an early age is very important, and including literacy is especially a point of interest to me in the early childhood field. Nice post.
