1.  What are your beliefs  regarding the importance of supporting early literacy and learning In our community, in your current work and in the elected position for which you are running? (Early literacy refers to a child from birth through the end of third grade.)

2.  Do you understand  the science of literacy and learning, such that you are able to support it or would you be  willing to participate in trainings to learn  more?

3. How can you, in your elected position, create sustainable  stewardship for an early literacy culture  in our homes, schools and/or community? 

It's time to celebrate!
