The purpose of this research project was to provide caregivers of children from age birth to four with facts and strategies about the promotion of early childhood literacy. In Chapter Four a pamphlet was developed that focuses on these specific areas: (a) literacy development, (b) emergent literacy, (c) creating a literate environment, (d) reading aloud to one\u27s child, (e) talking with one\u27s child, (f) choosing developmentally appropriate books, and (g) the reading stages. The pediatrician\u27s support in literacy intervention is vital. The pamphlet should be presented to caregivers during well child visits to (a) develop children\u27s literacy skills, (b) promote successful readers, and (c) encourage life long learners
