Supporting Early Literacy

Resource Description:

In this exemplar video, a teacher reads a touch-and-feel book with young children and encourages active participation throughout the story. Notice how the teacher talks about the book, invites children to touch illustrations and textures, discusses pictures and vocabulary, and encourages children to turn the pages as the story progresses. The teacher uses an interactive book-reading experience to support children’s engagement with books and print, an example of using a variety of age-appropriate techniques consistent with state early learning guidelines to support early literacy development.
