When a teacher reads aloud a good piece of children’s literature, children are exposed to much more than an oral rendition of a storybook. Reading aloud to young children is a critical aspect of their social, emotional, and intellectual development. This book, part of the Preschool Literacy Collection, will help you create a rich literature environment for fostering your preschoolers’ reading comprehension. Authors Lesley Mandel Morrow and Linda B. Gambrell explore the why and the how of using children’s literature in preschool. In addition to explaining why it is important to use children’s literature in preschool, the chapters show you how to design a classroom literacy center and read and tell stories to children, help preschoolers comprehend stories and understand concepts of books, integrate children’s literature and literacy activities in thematic instruction and in the content areas, and strengthen the home–school connection with activities that you can share with parents for increasing their use of children’s literature at home. The book also provides a glossary of specialized literacy terms to expand your professional knowledge and offers recommended children’s literature resources to support your instruction. Preschool teachers and administrators can use this book to develop the habit of sharing good literature with their preschoolers and make the most of the powerful benefits of reading aloud literature.

Books Are The Key To Learning To Read,

This review is from: Using Children's Literature in Preschool: Comprehending and Enjoying Books (Preschool Literacy Collection) (No. 548-845) (Paperback)
Nothing and I do mean NOTHING progresses a child (or an adult for that matter) along in terms of their reading and comprehensiveness either as a beginner or as an advanced-master better than books reading...either reading them yourself or being read to. This excellent book promotes that very idea.
What's a read aloud? What's shared reading? It touches on how to play and interact with books with a child...and how to best integrate them into the classroom. Nothing more and nothing less...but it's put together better than any way of I have seen. Check out this book along with the others in this superb and inexpensive IRA series: WRITING IN PRESCHOOL, LEARNING ABOUT PRINT IN PRESCHOOL, ORAL LANGAUGE & EARLY LITERACY IN PRESCHOOL, and BUILDING A FOUNDATIN FOR PRESCHOOL LITERACY
