DESCRIPTION:
Lealia Williams said Review of Book. This is a great book. I used it for my class but I will also use it with my son.
It will be an excellent resource for new kindergarten teachers as well as more experienced teachers. The explicit teaching ideas offer a wealth of alternatives for meeting student needs. Casbergue, PhD, Department of Curriculum and Instruction, University of New Orleans"Teaching Literacy in Kindergarten presents practical information that I have not seen in other texts. Examples of children’s drawing and writing, paired with their own words about their work, provide insight into how their understanding of print grows and changes over the course of the kindergarten year. Students who subsequently practice-teach at the kindergarten level will be well prepared for the literacy instruction they must provide and are likely to wear out the book's pages as they consult it daily while planning their lessons."--Judith Schickedanz, PhD, Department of Literacy and Language, Counseling, and Developmental Studies,
Kindergarten is a time for playful and enriching learning activities that support children's literacy emergence while enhancing their social and cognitive development. The routines of a busy, engaged, productive kindergarten classroom are vividly brought to life in this information-packed book. Demonstrated are whole-class and small-group strategies for helping children acquire concepts about print and the alphabet, build phonological and phonemic awareness, learn to read sight words, develop their listening comprehension and writing abilities, and much more.
