These adults have the opportunity to expose young children to early literacy skill development prior to ever entering the formal school environment.
b. How does your advocacy story relate to the concept of social justice?   All children deserve access to material which will increase their success in kindergarten and beyond. By providing tools to adults whose children are at this developmental stage, we create an environment of support and become a valuable information resource.
