Getting Comfortable with the Early Literacy Research
As part of their 2009 evaluation of the first edition of Every Child Ready to Read®, Dr. Susan B. Neuman and Dr. Donna Celano conducted an extensive literature review of the latest research in early literacy development. The review identified critical skills associated with long-term reading achievement and best practices used in highly regarded early literacy programs around the United States. This handout is perfect for librarians or early childhood educators who want to learn more or need a refresher of previous learning.
