Sommario/riassunto

This book provides critical information that helps educators improve early literacy programs in libraries of all types. It combines research findings about early literacy that document the connection between writing and reading with meaningful theory to offer a strong rationale for library programming, and reminds readers of the joy and value of working with young children by telling them stories and engaging them in early literacy activities in the classroom and library.
