This practical guide to teaching literacy in kindergarten is based on the premise that "students can manage higher and more specific goals than those of the traditional kindergarten program." A spirit of play is essential for kindergartners, and this program combines that philosophy with the nitty-gritty of successful instruction. Shared, guided, and independent reading, integrated with interactive, shared, and independent writing—and a constant infusion of word-study skills—provide a playful, confidence-building curriculum. For use with Grades PreK-K.

How Refreshing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Reading and Writing in Kindergarten: A Practical Guide: Lessons and Strategies That Help Young Learners Develop Literacy Skills Through Shared ... Interactive Writing, Read-Alouds, and More (Paperback)
Not only have I read Rosalie Franzese's book, I return to it constantly. Her ideas are remarkable. Put simply, they work. I'm taking her class right now, and 'observing' in NYC PS 19 (elementary), where she is coordinating numerous aspects of the school's transition from a phonics based literacy program to a balanced literacy approach. (Rosalie puts us to work! It gives us a chance to see this stuff in action, and to try it out.) Her book though - extremely clear, well researched, proven techniques for helping kindergarteners learn to read. And frankly, the techniques she outlines for kindergarten instruction can be used (perhaps slightly modified) in the entire elementary school, at least. Her book combines the most positive and beneficial aspects of phonics and whole language instruction, and offers a balanced approach that works. If you like this book, also look at Marie Clay's Observation Survey of Early Literacy Acheivement. (It's more or less what eclas is based on, for all you NYC-ers.)

Reading and Writing in Kindergarten,
By Brookanne Lorraine "everything learning" (Louisiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reading and Writing in Kindergarten: A Practical Guide: Lessons and Strategies That Help Young Learners Develop Literacy Skills Through Shared ... Interactive Writing, Read-Alouds, and More (Paperback)
This product is an excellent resource for both the experienced and non-experienced teachers. I would even go as far as to say that it's scope does not end with kindergarten. The scripted conversations/lessons are verbatim for a model lesson. We used this as a book study for our kindergarten teachers.

I applaud all Kinder teachers, as a first year kinder teacher, this book was definetly one to read from cover to cover.
A veteran teacher recommended it to me. Wonderful insights and tips into helping students become emergent readers and writers.
