Teaching young children to write print is one way of encouraging their literacy levels. Print writing is used as a reliable exercise in developing your child's handwriting too! Whenever a letter is successfully replicated, it brings about a sense of confidence that will help young children to overcome their nervousness around printing. This is the workbook for print writing that every child needs to own.
Effective early literacy instruction provides preschool children with developmentally appropriate settings, materials, experiences, and social support that encourage early forms of reading and writing to flourish and develop into conventional literacy.
Youngsters need writing to assist them to learn about reading, they also require reading to help them comprehend writing; and they need oral language to aid them in learning about both.
Children must learn foundation concepts and skills of written language from this more complex and expansive understandings and provocations occur, such as understanding of the alphabetic principle, identification of core text structures, sense of category, and an intense yearning to know. They need to learn phonological cognizance, alphabet letter knowledge, the purposes of written language, a sense of defining from texts, vocabulary, rudimentary print knowledge such as developmental spelling, and the determination to explore print as a meaning-making utility.

It took years for him to understand that he did have a gift. Though he traveled the globe in his youth, he still favors the lands of his imagination and wants nothing more than to share his visions with the world. He hopes his gift will allow readers to escape from reality, if only for a spell.

A passionate home chef, J. Steven, can often be found in the kitchen with his agreeable husband, Tom, and their self-important Siamese, Lexi, who rules the house with an iron paw. When he isn't working or writing, J. Steven is never more than a step or thought away from adventure.
