SO MUCH great stuff in this book! I needed it for a class so I got it from the library. Now I'm wishing I had bought it instead so I could mark it up as I read and come back to it over and over. Lots of practical, developmentally appropriate ways to give the very young exposure to reading and writing. SO MUCH great stuff in this book! I needed it for a class so I got it from the library.

Validates bet practices
Supports letter link research HighScope hasn't presented; explains why multiple readings of texts are important and how to read closely with young children

Excellent resource

This is an incredible book if you work in the field of early childhood education and need evidence based information on supporting emerging literacy in children.

An informative book how children develop reading and writing skills. Still very technical and clinical in the writing. As a teacher for so many years I found it redundant you are just reinventing the wheel and calling it a tire. One more education book read this summer. Now I'm packing up this book to swap it, happy reading. An informative book how children develop reading and writing skills. Still very technical and clinical in the writing.

While this may not have contained any very new and surprising information, it provided a good summary of best practices in building early literacy skills, with reference to the research behind them. A good resource.

This book focused on the importance of adult interactions with children centering around print and language.

Overview of early lit best practices. Loved it most for the research included. Good reference book.

Didn't have time to finish. Lots of valuable information, but a bit more detailed than I had time for. Didn't have time to finish. Lots of valuable information, but a bit more detailed than I had time for. ...more
