children's books are tools that prepare young children for later reading success-the way books are used with children makes a difference in their early literacy development. In Time for a Story, teachers and caregivers will explore fun and engaging ways to talk, sing, read, write, and play with young children throughout the day to help them begin developing important pre-literacy skills, including phonological awareness, print awareness, letter knowledge, and background knowledge. These practical techniques will help put children on the path to school readiness! Paperback.
