The references, resources, and examples will help teachers bring these ideas to life in their classrooms." -Addie Gaines, Principal Kirbyville Elementary School, MO Use research-based strategies to build early literacy skills! Early childhood educators recognize that young children are more likely to succeed in later grades if they have a variety of engaging preschool experiences.

Chapters provide an overview of each skill, methods for assessment, and appropriate instructional strategies. The book showcases examples of PreK and kindergarten children from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds to demonstrate how teachers can support individual learners. Readers will be able to: Adapt instruction appropriately for ELLs and children with special needs Partner knowledgeably with families to provide rich literacy experiences at home Integrate literacy across the curriculum, and more As teachers and literacy coaches become more purposeful and confident instructors, they open the door to successful learning while continuing to close the achievement gap.
