About the Spanish Early Literacy Manual: The Spanish Early Literacy Manual is a separate CSLP early literacy manual specifically tailored for young Spanish speaking children and their parents/caregivers. This manual will not only have programs, resources, and materials tailored to this audience, but will also be in Spanish. The Ad-Hoc Committee: CSLP is asking librarians and others who have provided programming for this demographic, speak Spanish, and/or are interested in this topic to participate in the committee. The committee will contain up to 15 members with BriAnne Baxley and Lisa Hellman as co-facilitators. This committee will review content the writer produces and provide any feedback or additional programming/resources that may be beneficial for this manual. Anyone is welcomed to participate. All content from the writer will be due November 18th. The committee will have until December 9th to review the material. The writer should have all edits complete by January 15th, but this may be extended to no later than February 3rd.
