Emerging Childhood Language and Literacy Curriculum: A Comprehensive Preschool Program

Product Code: EL100 By Julie Ornes, Shirley Patterson, Dana McMillan, Jackie Thomas, & Eva Trumbower 2 volume set $165.00  (Includes Book A:  Critical Components and Book B:  Thematic Units) Literacy forms its roots in early language exposure. Children become better readers when they grasp the powers of oral language—to entertain, to be understood, and to convey thoughts and ideas—at an early age. Strong oral-language skills in preschool students often translate into impressive literacy skills later on. The authors of The Emerging Language and Literacy Curriculum (ELLC) have used the well-established link between oral language and literacy to create a multi-domain, comprehensive program for pre-readers, one that lays the groundwork for success in elementary school and beyond. Each of the 23 storybook themes is a distinct, easy-to-teach unit that reflects years of research and practical classroom experience in making language development and learning fun for the child and teacher.
