Literacy Learning for Infants, Toddlers, & Preschoolers
Last updated 2024/05/27
Description
This book is an excellent, reader-friendly resource for kindergarten teachers and Early Childhood Educators. While infant and toddler development takes place before the Ontario curriculum kicks in, the authors are American. Their recommendations for preschoolers generally align with the age of our Year 1 kindergarten students. Much of the research and advice in the book is applicable to Year 2 kindergarten as well. The chapters cover children as Clever Communicators, Print Navigators, Sound-Letter Linkers, Resourceful Writers and Text Compehenders and outline key practices in each critical area as well as age-by-age milestones and signs of potential concerns. Literacy Learning for Infants, Toddlers, & Preschoolers would make a valuable book study for kindergarten teams and is also highly recommended for parents as well as professionals working in childcare settings.

This book IS phenomenal for supporting early learners!
We used this book to engage ECE’s in our Literacy PD this summer. We have begun creating the framework for a possible book club. This resource provided learning applicable to children who are in Kindergarten, Preschool and in Toddler programs.
This resource provides readers with a framework on how to scaffold literacy learning throughout the early years. Many Kindergarten educators would benefit IMO from reading this book- as we see an uptick in the needs for language development in children as they enter Kindergarten.
