Early Literacy Station Dedication Photos
Members of the Adel Library Board, Wells Fargo, city leaders and local children were on hand Monday morning for the dedication of the Early Literacy Station (ELS). The ELS was donated to the Adel Public Library by a grant form the Wells Fargo Foundation.
The station is loaded with 50 educational games and software for kids ages 2-10. It offers children a safe, standalone computer not connected to the Internet that is age-appropriate, engaging, and academically relevant for children.
The literacy station has an imaginative interface that encourages exploration. Many of the software programs contain disguised learning activities that expand the child’s experience through games and extension activities.
