This book is great because it offers information for teaching early reading and writing to emergent readers. It also addresses the specific language and literacy development of early childhood. Concrete examples are provided throughout to emphasized a balanced approach to language literacy instruction. I LOVE this book!
This book is an awesome resource that focuses on phonics and spelling instruction. It is a companion to the book Guided Reading: Good First Teaching for All Children written by two well-known authors, Gay Su Pinnell and Irene Fountas. Aside from many concrete examples and reproducables, the book offers essential information about helping students in grades K-3 learn about letters, sounds, and words. A very valuable book that offers many, many practical tools. A must have for any new teacher!
