Activities--A library of more than 100 ebooks, digital games, videos, music, mobile apps, and other activities selected as quality resources that support learning and literacy development. Some activities help adults support children’s language and literacy skills; others are designed for use by adults with children. Search for Activities by Media Type, Activities, or Ages and have them displayed by: Featured, Most Recent, Most Viewed or Top Rated.
Let’s Talk--An online community where teachers, families, and others can ask questions, and connect and share with others who care about issues affecting young children.
My Ele—By signing up for a free Ele account, users can organize the site’s resources around their own needs and interests, and then share them by creating Play!Lists. All resources include research-based suggestions and information on how and why to use Ele’s activities, under the headings, “Talk About It” and “Why This Is Important.”
