, INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Instructor’s Manual for Early Literacy in Preschool and
Kindergarten, A Multicultural Perspective, 4th Ed. This manual will assist you in
planning your teaching, involving your students in literacy activities, and assessing their
learning. The first section of the manual outlines the Essential Content of each chapter,
followed by Teaching Strategies, Multimedia Resources, Book and Journal Resources,
and Web Sites.
For example, Chapter 1, Foundations of Early Literacy, lists nine learning
objectives for students, then outlines each of these objectives. Students using the text will
be learning what early literacy consists of, what is emergent literacy, what are the literacy
goals for preschool and for kindergarten, what are the core literacy knowledge and skills
for young children identified by research, what are the current NAEYC curriculum
criteria for programs, how they can assess children’s literacy achievements, and what
appropriate technology devices can be used in preschool programs—especially important
in this day and age.
Following each chapter’s content outline are Teaching Strategies you may want to
use in your classroom presentations. Each chapter briefly describes five or six text
Learning Activities that groups of students can choose, prepare, and then present to the
entire class. Several additional strategies are presented to use as you see fit with the entire
class. All call for students to become involved in their learning, afterwards sharing what
they learned with the others. Multimedia Resources, Book and Journal Resources, and
Web Sites follow for use by you or the students. Each chapter follows this order.
Strategies for both students and you include assessment evaluations, book
critiques, book demonstrations, chanting, character cutouts, classroom visits, dual
language speakers, e-book demonstrations, group discussions, interviews, library
research, making alphabet books, musical demonstrations, poster shows, portfolios,
rhythm instruments, children’s writing, scribbling, and drawing, sign boards, storytelling,
story drama, and tool demonstrations to name a few. Handouts, Power Point slides, films,
and web sites can be used wherever appropriate.
Appendix A includes Text Banks and Answer Keys for each of the chapters.
Appendix B includes 13 handouts from the text to be scanned and used by you and the
students.
