Help Suggest Award Books on Early Literacy

The following message is from Alison Loewen, CLEL Book Awards Committee member and YSS Chair-elect.

Is there a book published this year that you think provides excellent support of early literacy development in young children?  Colorado Libraries for Early Literacy (CLEL) is accepting suggestions for the 2023 CLEL Bell Awards.  Books suggested should be exemplary in supporting the 5 practices of early literacy : Read, Write, Sing, Talk, and Play.

You can suggest titles by visiting their website and filling out the Title Suggestion form: https://www.clel.org/clel-bell-awards/suggest-a-title/

For more information on CLEL, their upcoming virtual conference on Oct 6-7, 2022 ($35 registration) their resources and the CLEL Book Awards, please stop here. 

P.S. You too can serve on their book awards committee by joining CO Libraries for Early Literacy. Membership is free.
