Early Literacy Links for Teachers

Early Literacy is the skills that preschool children develop through exposure to reading and writing in context of meaningful communication.  This web site helps teachers link to other web sites to weave the goals of early literacy into their curriculum.  To be most successful in literacy it is important to intentionally have deep, meaningful curriculum as a medium to develop the early literacy skills.  Direct instruction of the skills is important within the context of deeper learning.  Hopefully teachers will find these links helpful as they explore both the process and the theory of early literacy, please send a quick e-mail if you find this helpful, or find links are no longer available.
