One
way we as early childhood educators and professionals can create change is to
reduce if not eliminate illiteracy. This can be accomplished by beginning with
children. This should begin at birth with developing early reading and literacy
skills. Books are a wonderful place to begin. There are a wide range of books
that can be read to babies and young children. It is almost impossible for me
to pick just one favorite. Among my favorites are those by Dr. Seuss They include books for various ages including
board books for babies. The text includes whimsical and repetitive rhymes as
well as pictures that encourage young children to engage. The books also
encourage phonological awareness that we all know is critical to the
development of reading and literacy skills.
Shelia , I agree with about build literacy through books. The colors seem to catch children attention to focus in on the story.
