Preschool literacy experiences should be intentionally built into the entire daily schedule and all interest areas in the classroom. Literacy: The Creative Curriculum® Approach shows teachers how to create literacy learning opportunities within the structure of a comprehensive, integrated curriculum. This book presents a review of the latest research about literacy development and describes the seven components of literacy in detail: literacy as a source of enjoyment, vocabulary and language, phonological awareness, knowledge of print, letters and words, comprehension, and books and other texts.

It provides in-depth guidance about strategies and techniques that teachers intentionally use to promote literacy learning:

  • Talking, singing, and playing with language

  • Reading aloud

  • Storytelling

  • Story retelling

  • Writing

  • Scaffolding children's learning during play

  • Using literacy to learn as part of studies

  • Planning for literacy learning in all 11 of The Creative Curriculum interest areas and throughout the daily schedule

  • Dozens of activities for teachers to use

  • Up-to-date information on meeting the needs of English language learners

  • Adaptations for children with disabilities

      It includes a Literacy Implementation Checklist that helps programs assess five areas:

      • Literacy in the overall environment

      • Use of books

      • Writing materials and opportunities

      • Library Area

      • Instructional strategies
