The Early Childhood Education Network's Literacy Center (Centre) provides learners with online learning activities in four languages.

The Literacy Centre provides tutorials and games in...

  • English,
  • Spanish,
  • German, and
  • French.

The tutorials and games are designed to teach learners...

  • the alphabet,
  • writing the alphabet,
  • numbers,
  • shapes,
  • colours,
  • phonics, and
  • basic spelling.

Each section begins with a tutorial before moving on to ask learners to apply their new knowledge to an activity.

In addition to the online learning activities for learners, The Early Childhood Education Network's Literacy Centre in collaboration with Read Today offers hundreds of free printable resources for teaching early literacy skills.

These professionally-designed, education materials are aimed at preschool-age children but, with some planning, can be used for Functional Skills, ESOL ESL, EFL, MFL etc. I would suggest that Family Learning Practitioners will find these resources very useful.
