Young Exceptional Children Monograph Series No. 7 : Supporting Early Literacy Development in Young Children

By Eva M. Horn and Hazel Jones

The seventh topical issue of the Young Exceptional Children (YEC) Monograph Series addresses the support of early literacy development in young children. Literacy development, or reading and writing acquisition, is viewed as a developmental continuum rather than an all-or-nothing phenomenon. Specific topics include: creating literacy-rich environments for infants, toddlers, and preschool children, practical strategies for supporting literacy development at home and in the preschool classroom, using storybooks and storybook reading to enhance language and literacy, and embedding language and literacy learning across classroom routines, including science and dramatic play.
