Lori Jamison Rog

Kindergarten teachers will find in these pages the resources to bring children with highly disparate literacy skills to the world of print and enable them to master the skills that will make them lifelong readers.

With keen insight and compassion for these young learners and the teachers who start them on the path to literacy, author Lori Rog lays out the elements of an outstanding kindergarten program that combines print-rich play with carefully structured learning experiences. You’ll explore developmentally appropriate practices, study what kindergarten children need to know, get an insider’s glimpse of the exemplary classroom, and discover a wealth of strategies for successful literacy instruction in kindergarten. The final pages of the book invite you to reflect on the increasing diversity of students in your classrooms, and how to honor and accommodate that diversity.

Use this book to create your own exemplary kindergarten program that respects the learning processes of your students and helps them reach their full potential.
