Favorite Book


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.

  1. Shelia , I agree with about build literacy through books. The colors seem to catch children attention to focus in on the story.
