by Christine Pegorraro Schull, Leslie La Croix, Sara E. Miller, Kimberly Sanders Austin, and Julie K. Kidd

This textbook, Early Childhood Literacy: Engaging and Empowering Emergent Readers and Writers – Birth to Age 5, provides a comprehensive introduction to emergent literacy development in early childhood education (ECE). It emphasizes that literacy begins well before formal reading and writing instruction and develops through children’s relationships, language experiences, play, home environments, and interactions with books and writing materials.
