Reading and Writing in Kindergarten: A Practical Guide: Lessons and Strategies That Help Young Learners Develop Literacy Skills Through Shared Reading, Guided Reading, Interactive Writing, Read-Alouds, and More

by Rosalie Franzese

Overview

This practical guide to teaching literacy in kindergarten is based on the premise that "students can manage higher and more specific goals than those of the traditional kindergarten program." A spirit of play is essential for kindergartners, and this program combines that philosophy with the nitty-gritty of successful instruction. Shared, guided, and independent reading, integrated with interactive, shared, and independent writing—and a constant infusion of word-study skills—provide a playful, confidence-building curriculum.
