In 2023, the Oregon Legislature passed a bill called the Early Literacy Success Initiative. This law directed the Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC) to develop a Birth Through Five Literacy Plan. The plan will offer ways to support literacy for children ages birth through five.
DELC is partnering with Oregon’s Kitchen Table to hear from people across the state about this topic.
Your input will help DELC inform the Birth Through Five Literacy Plans. By filling out this survey, you can help make sure that the plan is helpful for and supports communities.

About Oregon’s Kitchen Table: Oregon’s Kitchen Table is a creation of a group of non-partisan, non-profit community organizations dedicated to helping Oregonians have a voice – to share their ideas, opinions, beliefs, and resources in improving Oregon and our communities.
