Description
Based on convincing research that families play a vital role in literacy learning, this remarkable book suggests a process for using childrens texts and picture books to create a common reading experience between classroom and home. It explores four key aspects of literacy: predictable structures, nonfiction, comprehension, and imagination and language play. Numerous reproducibles and send-home materials, as well as suggestions for supporting families for whom English is not the first language, complement this handy guide.
