Comprehensive Literacy Resource for Kindergarten Teachers

"The activities are easy to implement for daily classroom use, the record-keeping forms are comprehensive and smartly organized, and the parent letters and ideas for home activities promote valuable communication between home and school. I thoroughly recommend that every kindergarten teacher read this book."

Karin Patsula
Kindergarten Teacher

"In this research-based resource, best teaching practices are beautifully complemented by practical applications that are proven effective. The book helps build background knowledge in the theory of how kindergarten children learn best. Using this book, teachers can easily provide program rationales to parents and administrators. The Comprehensive Literacy Resource for Kindergarten Teachers really HAS IT ALL!"

Kindergarten Teacher

"It is a wonderful resource—a "must read" for all kindergarten teachers today! Ms. Trehearne backs her statements with current research. I like the way the research on literacy is woven into the book. It is a good value for its dollar as it is comprehensive, well written, and reader-friendly. I especially like the blackline masters and evaluation pages. I’ve made good use of the phonemic awareness intervention lessons that supplement my kindergarten literacy lessons nicely. I felt more prepared to tackle the special needs that my students had (literacy-wise) this year after including this book in my summer "bedtime reading!" Bravo, Ms. Trehearne!"
