Teaching Early Literacy
Renowned experts in reading and early childhood development, along with classroom teachers, focus on reading instruction for children in pre-kindergarten through first grade in this staff development series. Designed for teachers, reading specialists, parents and caregivers, "Teaching Early Literacy" explores emergent literacy using classroom demonstrations as illustrations. The series updates teachers on current views of reading, skilled readers, and effective reading instruction; introduces a strong theoretical base for the concept of emergent literacy and the conditions that support it; provides guidelines for the implementation of these ideas in the classroom; and encourages teachers to work in supportive and collaborative ways when implementing these concepts.
