Learning to Read the World: Language And Literacy in the First Three Years

by Sharon E. Rosenkoetter (Editor), Joann Knapp-Philo (Editor)

The newborn is amazingly equipped to acquire language and literacy—these early years are the foundation upon which later learning is built. Drawing on current research, the authors of Learning to Read the World examine the elements of beginning language and literacy and look at how families, programs, and communities can encourage beginning language and literacy in infants and toddlers.

Fairly dense reading, in terms of quantity, but generally readable. Cites a lot of research regarding early literacy development. Good to dip into from time to time to polish up one's EL knowledge or to delve into it if the concept of EL is new to you.
