Introduce your young students to the concept of reading and the pleasure of books!
Teachers and speech-language pathologists expect young children to experience book sharing from a young age. We’d like to believe that all young children entering preschool or kindergarten could respond to an instruction such as, "Please open the book to the first page and point to the word under the picture."
Many young students will do just that, but children who enter preschool or kindergarten with little or no book experience might be puzzled by such an instruction. What can we do for children who enter school with limited print experience?
Children must be oriented to the purpose and order of books and to technical literacy terms. This book will help you level the playing field for students who need gentle orientation to books and print.
Sixteen individual make-it-yourself booklets are provided in the book. For each booklet, a target word or concept is singled out and illustrated, and a corresponding "question page" is presented. Children learn that after looking through or reading a book they will know something that they hadn't known before. Each of these 8-page booklets is a language lesson in itself!
With this book you can help children learn important book orientation skills and technical literacy terms as they enrich their language.
Age: 3.5 to 7
