We are often asked for different recommendations on different tools, training, websites, resources and services available to people interested in furthering early childhood literacy. As a result we've put together the following list of resources that we have personally used (in most cases) or those that have come highly recommended by people we trust.  Please feel free to peruse at your leisure and let us know if you think we might be missing something that might be of value to someone else.
