Description - Shared Storybook Reading by Helen K. Ezell
This practical guide for early childhood professionals introduces strategies for supporting early literacy skills (phonological and print awareness) in preschoolers during storybook reading time. This book is intended to teach important background information on language acquisition, oral language development, and literacy skills. The authors offer step-by-step instructions for effective adult-child interactions during storybook reading time with individual children and with small groups. They introduce five domains of language (listening, speaking, reading, writing, comprehension) and show how the domains can be developed through storybook reading. The book also provides tips on how to motivate children for reading time and gives advice on working with children with developmental delays and behavior problems. The book discusses how to motivate parents to participate in their children's language and literacy development. At the end of the book, the authors offer advice on how to choose books most suitable for achieving early literacy skills, as well as a Q & A section and a glossary that provide additional information on resources and definitions of technical terms.
