In the Beginning.

Paglin, Catherine

Northwest Education, v4 n1 p12-19 Fall 1998

Early literacy involves daily reading aloud as well as writing or dictating activities. Preschoolers learn that reading is enjoyable, pictures provide story clues, and print goes from left to right and represents words and meaning. Listening, watching, and asking questions increase vocabulary and comprehension. Sidebars include tips, a book list, and policy recommendations. (SAS)
