As time permits The Canadian Letters and Images Project will be developing more Teacher Resources to help utilize the materials in the project in all classroom levels. We would greatly appreciate the assistance of any teachers who have used the materials and can share with us what they have done. In addition to what we develop we want to include as many examples as possible of their current use in the classroom. Please help us to make this resource as useful as possible for all teachers. If you can contribute in any way, please contact the project. Thank you to all who have been using the project and for your continued support.
