Practical, up-to-date strategies to teaching literacy to three-, four-, and five-year-old students

In this practical resource, teachers and student interns learn the best picture books and activities to use with children, how to use them effectively, and how to ensure that children best benefit from their use. They learn what to expect as young children's writing emerges from scribbles, to pictures, to real words, and they understand emergent literacy as it appears in preschool children and evolves into conventional literacy as it is taught in elementary school. The unique approach presents the latest information on early literacy teaching strategies in 50 concise chapters divided into three sections: Children's Speaking/Listening, Children's Writing, and Children's Reading, making specific topics easy to locate.
