DESCRIPTION:
This is a great beginners guide - Thank you Shasta1962 I really appreciate this book and the specific guidelines coupled with the specific book suggestions. I've purchased all 30 books so I am ready to implement their suggestions wihtout having to worry about choosing a book for each lesson. As I become profecient with print referencing I will be able to branch out and incorporate more storybooks of my own choosing. This is a great beginners guide - Thank you!
This indispensable guide presents research-based techniques for using reading aloud to intentionally and systematically build children's knowledge of print. Appendices include a detailed book list and 60 reproducibles that feature activities and prompts keyed to each text.. Preschool teachers and early childhood professionals know that storybook reading is important, but they may not know how to maximize its benefits for later reading achievement. Simple yet powerful strategies are provided for teaching preschoolers about book and print organization, print meaning, letters, and words, all while sharing engaging, commercially available books
Teachers will appreciate the numerous materials and practical, specific examples. "I helped coordinate a statewide preschool literacy program that drew on the ideas in this book, and I highly recommend it. An excellent resource!"--Kathy Knighton, MA, Program Coordinator, West Virginia Department of Education. It is a user-friendly guide to building early literacy skills in our youngest learners
