If you're interested in lively, collaborative, in-depth discussions about early literacy, CLEL Bells is the place for you!
Be part of advocating for quality children’s books that support early literacy. The English CLEL Bells Committee is recruiting new members for the 2026 award season!
What are the CLEL Bells? One of the two early literacy book awards from CLEL, the English CLEL Bell Awards are an annual recognition of five high-quality children’s books that provide excellent support of early literacy development in young children ages 0-5. The five winners are selected from a shortlist of 25 honored titles.
Come join the committee! Here’s more from our members:
“Be prepared to fall more in love with children's books.”
“Do picture books have a place in your heart and your work space? They fill mine!”
“Get ready to think critically about early literacy and lean into great conversations.”
"I couldn't have had this experience at my library."
“Where else can you dissect books with the lens of early literacy and storytime?”
Apply now for the 2026 English CLEL Bells Committee. The application closes on March 28, 2025. All applicants will be notified by March 31, 2025.
Please contact clelbellawards@gmail.com with any questions.
Best regards,
Mary Ann Lawler
Chair, 2026 English CLEL Bells Committee
