The perfect Early Literacy resource

As a librarian working with parents to help their preschoolers develop pre-reading skills, I have recommended this book hundreds of times. The activities in this book are fun, easy, inexpensive ways to develop all the essential skills children need to master before they can learn to read. Activities include letter knowledge, rhyming, word families, recognizing environmental print, and other important pre-reading skills. Most can be done with no special materials, or with paper plates, magazine pictures, and other materials you probably have lying around the house. Hauser is tuned in to how children learn and how they play; activities are age-appropriate and avoid the "drill & kill" approach by keeping activities fun and filled with child appeal. The first (and possibly only) resource you need to raise a child who's ready to read.

Great source for an Early Childhood Curriculum.

Great source for an Early Childhood Curriculum. This book gave me wonderful ideas on teaching little ones to read. This book helped me plan lessons for my home toddler/preschool daycare. This book is a MUST HAVE for home daycare providers and home schooling parents.

Yes, preschoolers can read!

I couldn't believe how easily my four year old started to read when I presented the activities in the book. The phonemic awareness (sound awareness) activities were amazing. They really provided the link to phonics as the author explains.
