More Than the ABCs: The Early Stages of Reading and Writing

by Judith Schickendanz

Based on the premise that without a solid foundation of literacy knowledge and skill, children will have difficulty benefiting from first grade reading and writing instruction, this book for parents and teachers provides a comprehensive introduction to literacy development from infancy through preschool. The book emphasizes age-appropriate methods, books, and materials for encouraging emergent literacy.

Other than recommending "Good Night Moon," {god, how I hate that book!] this is a good read for everyone carrying for small children.
