Teaching Literacy in Kindergarten

by Lea M. McGee, Lesley Mandel Morrow

Kindergarten is a time for playful and enriching learning activities that support children's literacy emergence while enhancing their social and cognitive development. The routines of a busy, engaged, productive kindergarten classroom are vividly brought to life in this information-packed book. Demonstrated are whole-class and small-group strategies for helping children acquire concepts about print and the alphabet, build phonological and phonemic awareness, learn to read sight words, develop their listening comprehension and writing abilities, and much more.

This book was just “so/so”...
I’ve read a great deal of literature on the subject and it parallels much of what’s out there

Not phenomenal but not bad

Looks deeper into fingerpoint reading and kid writing

Cites my favorite scholars, Neuman and Duke

Stressed salient vocabulary... how it can be critical to understanding

I liked the resources at the end

This is another must have for K-2 teachers. Literacy is so complex!
