Book Description

July 1, 2002
There is perhaps nothing more important in a child’s education than the development of literacy skills. From the moment they are exposed to books, children are beginning to understand that what is spoken can also be written. These important discoveries aid in the construction of a child’s earliest literacy concepts and make the prospect of reading and writing attainable and exciting.

The latest in a series of discovery and activity books, More Than Letters is filled with dozens of fun and engaging activities designed to make literacy adventurous and meaningful for children. More Than Letters contains an extensive whole-language curriculum that creates classroom environments that surround children with meaningful print.

Each activity is accompanied by a photograph and a detailed explanation of how to set up the activity and construct materials. Also included are suggestions for comments and questions teachers can use to encourage phonetic awareness in their children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I've been waiting for, June 21, 2002
This review is from: More Than Letters: Literacy Activities for Preschool, Kindergarten, and First Grade (Paperback)
I have other books in the "More Than" series, and have been waiting and hoping the authors would write one for the Language and Literacy category. This one is just as excellent as the others in the series. It tells you ways to use materials and make materials and games for literacy centers in your classroom. The book also covers group and individual activities and take home activities (literacy suitcases). I highly recommend the "More Than" series to every Pre-K and K teacher.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insanely great book for teaching literacy!, June 17, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: More Than Letters: Literacy Activities for Preschool, Kindergarten, and First Grade (Paperback)
If you are a preschool, special education, Kindergarten or first grade teacher, then this book is for you! Sally Moomaw and Brenda Hieronymus are both professors at the Arlitt Child and Family Research and Education Center at the University of Cincinnati. The book is chock-full of literacy ideas for your classroom that are EFFECTIVE, appealing to kids, and just plain fun. There are assessment forms in the back to use with your class, and many of the literacy ideas can be adapted to any book you choose. No fluff, just practical stuff. You'll be happy you have this book and all of their other books in your arsenal of resources!
