Early Literacy Research Library (ELRL)

ELRL

The Early Literacy Research Library (ELRL) is a repository of research and resources developed to support investigators, policy makers, clinical providers, and other advocates involved in the integration of early literacy strategies into pediatric primary care to facilitate early relational health and early childhood development.

Research articles included in the ELRL include a variety of study design and publication types related to the following core topics:

• Reach Out & Read (ROR)
• Early Literacy
• Early Relational Health
• Shared Reading
• Pediatric Primary Care

Article Search Tags may be applied to narrow your ELRL searches based on core topic, study design, article type, population characteristics, exposures, outcomes, and metrics. Additional information about metrics and measures referenced by ELRL articles can be found on the Library Metrics page. Articles linked with additional materials contributed by authors (ie. infographics, slide decks, and secondary media articles) are noted by “★”.

The ELRL is updated on an ongoing basis to include the most recent research published about the library’s core topics.
