Overview

For decades early childhood educators in high-quality programs have understood that the transition into reading and writing occurs naturally when young children are surrounded by opportunities to interact with print in ways that are meaningful to them. The original edition of More Than Letters, first published in 2001, showed teachers how to intentionally help children develop literacy skills through hands-on, play-based activities. Like the original edition, the Standards Edition is based on theory and research. It contains new chapters that specifically focus on developing the skills needed to decode literature and informational text. Expanded chapters include activities that target specific concepts included in national literacy standards.

More than Letters, Standard Edition is a high-quality resource designed to support teachers in creating effective literacy-rich activities and environments for young children. Perhaps what I love most about this book is how the authors focus our observations of children in 'What to look for' indicators--then propel us toward facilitating the next steps in development. Pure gold! --M. Susan McWilliams, PhD, associate professor of early childhood education, University of Nebraska at Omaha, author of Beyond the Flannel Board
