Language is central to children’s development on all fronts. Research confirms that a rich language environment in the early years is key to children’s success in many areas. Yet many children lack such language learning opportunities, unless they find them in their early childhood program. The engaging, research-based articles in this book describe powerful ways to promote oral language throughout the early childhood curriculum. This beautifully produced resource also includes a list of top resources in the area and carefully designed questions and activities to aid students and other readers in reflecting on the articles.

This beautifully detailed poster will keep your eye and mind engaged as you go from corner to corner of this wonderful preschool classroom. Vibrantly illustrates a rich literacy environment, motivating activities, and a diverse population. This poster is 18?x24? and features suggested activities to support children?s literacy learning. Developed by Reading is Fundamental (RIF) and NAEYC.
