This course is rich and comprehensive, with practical insights to the frontier of early literacy. Grounded   in research and extensive experience in prekindergarten classrooms the course demonstrates how to:
- Create a classroom community that is play-based, and prepares children for the literacy-rich world in which they live
- Promote constructive learning through inquiry
- Recognize the language and literacy behaviors and understandings that are appropriate instructional goals for preschoolers
- Use powerful and playful ways to guide children to learn about letters, sounds, and words
- Support emergent readers and writers through an array of literacy activities.
This comprehensive course is full of practical resources such as familiar children’s songs, rhymes, and poems and related activities; theme-based text sets and book lists; inquiry projects; and thirty-five simple, generative lessons that support children in their discovery and exploration of language, reading, and writing. It also includes the prekindergarten continuum, which describes the trajectory of literacy learning and development of competencies for these young, emerging readers and writers.
