Expanding on Early Literacy.
- Authors
Irwin, Julia R.; Moore, Dina L.; Tornatore, Lauren A.; Fowler, Anne E.
- Abstract
The article discusses strategies to increase literacy in early childhood education in the promotion of emerging literacy in children. The authors discuss preliteracy skills that increase literacy learning in children such as alphabet knowledge, phonological awareness, and vocabulary learning. The authors also discuss strategies for libraries to increase literacy instruction during time spent reading a story to young children. Topics include book handling skills that help children become comfortable with books and print awareness, the use of illustrations to support the learning of vocabulary, as well as the use of alliteration to teach phonological awareness.
