Prescription for Literacy Project
The Early Literacy Alliance of Waterloo Region (ELAWR), in collaboration with Overlap Associates, is currently working on the “Prescription for Literacy” project. The aim of the project is to reach out to the health care community – a universal access point for families – to highlight a critical window of opportunity for early literacy development.
We want to create an early literacy movement that drives people to understand the critical importance of early literacy and its resulting impact on our children and society. The health care community is a trusted resource for families and a powerful channel for connecting and engaging parents with the importance of early literacy. Using the “Design Thinking” approach, ELAWR will collaborate with Overlap Associates to investigate possible health care channels and design mechanisms for driving behaviour change in hopes of improving early literacy skills.

This project has been funded by the Lyle S. Hallman Foundation (LSHF). For more information on LSHF, please visit www.lshallmanfdn.org
