I have recently been a student in
the Early Literacy course and I have to admit that I just fell in love
with the books we are assigned to be reading. With a humble experience in the
little world; its creatures, curriculum, and classes, I feel that I am more
confident to be doing the right job, especially after reading each and every
assigned chapter. Grab a pencil and a paper. Here is your recipe for a juicy
introduction and overall knowledge of what goes inside the walls of the
kindergarten educational world, the first ingredient is the Language
Development in Early Childhood by Beverly Otto (2010), which presents a
fruitful and rich environment of theories, perspectives and strategies, this
should be accompanied with the Creating Literacy book by Gunning (2005) that
adds with its intriguing practical activities some salt to your teaching and
guarantees an unforgettable taste to your students’ learning. You might be
asking why I chose to talk about the books and why would I advertise you to purchase
them. Well, it is true that I am not the owner of their publishing company, nor
am I the relative of one of its writers, but I am a reader that after learning
and benefiting much in a little time became fanatic. I really advice you to
take the step and try to read at least one chapter of each book! Don’t lose the
chance to experience the advantage of reading these two books; I am sure you
won’t regret it. A final request, please notify me with your opinion as soon as
you start reading throughout the chapters.
