In December 2007, Montana was one of eight states selected to participate in a technical assistance grant from the Center for Early Literacy Learning (CELL). The CELL is funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs. One of its aims is to provide specialized technical assistance to promote the adoption and use of evidence-based early literacy learning practices for typically developing children and children with special needs. Specialized technical assistance includes statewide training on CELL early literacy learning practices, as well as information sharing events for distance learning and professional development. As requested by Montana, CELL is focusing its Montana initiative on children aged birth to five. Please visit www.earlyliteracylearning.org for more information.
