Blueprint
for Early Literacy is based on National Reading Panel and
Early Reading First recommendations, and is designed to meet
state and national standards for reading, writing, and oral
language development. These skills are taught in the context
of 10 related, sequential themes. At the heart of each theme
are award-winning children's books, carefully chosen
to introduce children to the delight of reading.
Lesson plans help teachers make each book a launching pad
for teaching vocabulary, building comprehension, and developing
phonemic awareness, phonics, and oral language skills. Blueprint themes - along with Blueprint author studies, center applications,
and skill cards - build children's content knowledge and develop
literacy skills through engaging, rich, and meaningful learning. |
