Early childhood educators working to help children learn to read and write will welcome the guidance and practical tools provided by this book. Learning to Read and Write elaborates on the IRA/NAEYC position statement of the same name, which focuses on developmentally appropriate ways to teach children to read and write. The authors use concrete guidelines and exciting classroom ideas to illustrate the key areas of early learning development: the power and pleasure of literacy, the literate environment, language development, building knowledge and comprehension, knowledge of print, types of text, phonological awareness, and letters and words. A section on ensuring reading and writing success addresses assessment, policies and resources needed for effective practice, and frequently asked questions that the authors repeatedly encounter.
