All Means All. All people have a right to the relationships, experiences, and instruction that help them develop communication skills. This requires access to a language system, which can be either low-tech (as in a paper-based booklet), high-tech (as in a dedicated device), or some combination. AAC support is critical to effective literacy instruction since learners must express their thoughts, ideas, and wishes during early or emergent routines. Additionally, effective literacy instruction is socially constructed. Therefore, all learners must have the means and the opportunity to engage actively, constructively, and socially.

Beyond providing AAC support for language use and development, laying the foundation for literacy and language growth is predicated on providing comprehensive literacy instruction. Accordingly, the development team at Building Wings created at literacy program to reflect this evidence-based approach for young learners. Throughout this four-year program, parents and teachers can access implementation supports (real-time videos plus paper-based instructional guides) to quickly and seamlessly deliver daily cycles of the five emergent routines that comprise comprehensive literacy instruction (Erickson & Koppenhaver, 2017). These include shared reading, predictable chart writing, alphabet/ phonics instruction, and daily opportunities to engage independently with reading and writing.
