How about this for a start? @AuthorDanBrown & @susanbatori 's cool picture book Wild Symphony. Too many literacy skills: rhyme, rhythm, vowel pairs and patterns, inflected endings, figurative language, poetic writing, author's craft, inference...and the poems and music are fun!
What do successful early literacy teachers do? Principle 7: Cultivate Literacy Skills with Balanced Instruction. What does this principle mean for your teaching? #earlyliteracy #Reading #earlyyears #literacy
My piece in this issue is: When Young Readers Get Stuck. Big shout out to my colleague @CarlaShalaby's important piece also in this issue: Classroom Management as a Curriculum of Care.
Important for all readers, even those youngest readers! #earlyliteracy #earlyyears
You are one talented lady @mooretolearn
Man, when @JackieWoodson reads aloud, it's like smooth jazz, red velvet cupcakes, and a salted caramel latte collide! It's a beautiful thing; you have to hear it.
We are thrilled to announce our first keynote speaker for #TCTELA2021 @JackieWoodson! You're REALLY going to want to register TODAY! You'll find out tomorrow. :) Register here: tctela.org/20201conference #NCTEvillage
What do successful early literacy teachers do? Principle 5: Share Daily, Delightful Read Alouds! When you know children’s literature & strategically make time for impromptu & planned read alouds each day, you pave a firm reading path for children. amazon.com/Integrating-Liter…
More @Ms_VJohnson...take those classic songs (or even some new ones) and let the kids make them their own. Add their own lines and movements to Down by the Bay, change the lines of a song, Twinkle, Twinkle little... (instead of star), We Are the...(instead of dinosaurs).
Yes @Ms_VJohnson! Books based on some classic rhyming songs; read the book first. Like from Keith Baker, Mary Hoberman, Iza Trapani, Raffi... Let the children help you create the movements. Sing and move! Great for brain breaks and phonological awareness too.
Thanks @mooretolearn. We hope it is a great resource for EC teachers everywhere! amazon.com/Integrating-Liter…

Read-aloud, recess, and snack time all look different at preschools that are reopening during the pandemic. Teachers share their new best practices for supporting kids and staying safe

Awesome job @Ms_VJohnson! Those songs are so important for literacy development...in addition to just getting a chance to get up and move.

Just in case you missed this. I wonder what has changed since COVID. Has PD for digital resources to support literacy instruction increased yet? literacyworldwide.org/whatsh… – at Murphy, TX

I love my library card because it allowed me to share hundreds of books with my students when I couldn’t afford to by them all myself. Not to mention that the library just smells great! lnkd.in/e7v5xYv
What do successful early literacy teachers do? Principle 4: Link Play to Literacy Learning. How do you use play to teach literacy? What can it look like in an online environment? #earlyyears #play #literacy
Want something more than a book filled with worksheets? How about a book that has children’s texts as the foundation for improving early literacy skills? We are so excited about this book! #EarlyChildhood #literacy amazon.com/Integrating-Liter…
