Synopsis

Journey to Literacy argues that teachers need to engage children in their own learning and give them opportunities to pursue their own interests and investigations. Through individual and small-group gatherings, conferences, and personal interactions, this resource offers teachers simple and effective ways to engage young learners and provide positive feedback and support.

Teachers will find a wealth of resources for creating meaningful learning experiences, including answers to often-asked questions; mileposts to inform teaching instruction; suggestions for games, writing folders and reading logs; and activities for individual students and small groups. Journey to Literacy is a valuable support to teachers as they move beyond worksheets and nurture kindergarten children on their journey toward life-long literacy.
