Beaty 50 'Early Childhood Literacy Strategies is the answer to the early childhood teacher's dilemma of how to teach reading to children 3, 4, and 5 years of age as mandated by the state and national governments. This text presents an easy-to-use, easy-to-understand approach involving young childrens' own emergence into the world of speaking and listening, reading and writing. Teachers and student interns will quickly learn what picture books and activities to use with children, how to use them, and how children can benefit from their use. They will learn what to expect as young childrens' writing emerges from scribbles to pictures and real words. Finally, they will come to terms with the concept of emergent literacy as it appears in preschool chi Books & Videos/DVDs: Professional Development > Literacy jgordon Wed, 21 May 2008 15:56:53 GMT http://vig.pearsoned.co.uk/catalog/academic/product/0,1144,0131888579,00.html Pearson Education EMA Catalogue The book presents key concepts, discusses them in research-based, accessible prose, and provides useful strategies to facilitate communication and collaboration.

In Talking, Drawing, Writing: Lessons for Our Youngest Writers Martha Horn and Mary Ellen Giacobbe invite readers to join them in classrooms where they listen, watch, and talk with children, then use what they learn to create lessons designed to meet children where they are and lead them into the world of writing. Many of the strategies are very appropriate for ELLs in older grades.
