Learning Research Service Volunteer Engagement

Eating Between the Lines (EBTL) is an early literacy, healthy eating program for young children, developed and tested in child-care facilities in Prince Edward Island. In 2009, an e-learning resource was created for kindergarten educators, parents, and children. The EBTL website connects children’s early literacy development with their growth and understanding of healthy eating and includes units such as Eating the Rainbow, Breakfast Matters, and The Salad. The website, created by a team of early childhood researchers and an advisory team, includes separate sections for parents, enabling them to link nutrition and literacy activities in the home, and, for educators, allowing the information to be used in the classroom.

Principal Investigators: Dr. Ray Doiron, Education, and Dr. Jennifer Taylor, Family and Nutritional Sciences.
