  3. PRIMARY GOALS • Introduce NSF-funded early childhood SMILE DVD (Science and Math Integrating Literacy in Early Childhood) AND SMILE Viewing Guide • Propose alternative uses for SMILE DVD and Viewing Guide UC Irvine Center for Educational Partnerships (crlp@mail.cfep.uci.edu)

  4. Introduction • The DVD highlights science, math, and literacy research-to-practice early childhood information and experiences that emerged from a four-year National Science Foundation-funded PreK/K Leadership Institute (2003-07). • The 50-hour annual PreK/K Leadership Institute was facilitated by the California Reading and Literature Project in collaboration with California Science Project and Irvine Math Project leaders in the UCI Center for Educational Partnerships.

  11. Key Questions • How would you explain literacy to a colleague? • What are two or three everyday activities parents can do to support science, math, and literacy learning experiences? • How can parents who are fluent in a language other than English support their child in becoming proficient in English? • What science, math, and/or literacy skills can be supported by singing songs and playing with blocks at home? • Why does reading books with children support learning academic English?
