Children aren’t born with the skills they need to learn to read. And with reading levels falling, it’s more important than ever that all the adults in their lives are equipped to support emergent literacy from the very beginning.

That’s why we’re excited to announce our newest partnerships with leading early childhood organizations — each dedicated to empowering educators, strengthening the early childhood workforce, and ensuring every child has the best start.

We are partnering with Association of Early Childhood Educators Ontario (AECEO) , Connecticut Speech-Language-Hearing Association, Minnesota Association for the Education of Young Children, The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) , Pennsylvania Speech Language Hearing Association PSHA , and Saskatchewan Early Childhood Association , to provide early childhood professionals and families with practical, research-based strategies to nurture the specific literacy skills young children need to thrive.

We look forward to what’s ahead as we work in tandem to support children, families, and the professionals who make a lasting difference in their lives – all through the power of fun, everyday interactions at home and in early learning settings.

PSHA members are bringing attention to this important issue. Thank you to everyone who contacted their legislators to draw attention to the affects of a budget impasse. Thank you Senator Collett for supporting our message and advocating for early intervention providers and clients.

The budget is now 94 days overdue. Senate Republicans think they are hurting Democrats by dragging out this process. But that's not true - they're hurting everyday Pennsylvanians.

People like Danielle, a speech therapist in my district who's had to reduce services and take a 25% pay cut to keep her practice afloat while early intervention funding is in limbo.

This budget delay is leaving kids in our community without the care they deserve. Pennsylvanians deserve better.
