"The second edition of this activity-based program gives teachers ways to help all children, including those at risk for reading failure. This program gives teachers more than 60 culturally sensitive, developmentally appropriate student activities, tested for 10 years under both research and practical conditions. Activities are organized into three sections - print/book awareness skills, metalinguistic awareness skills, and oral language skills - that help children master key elements of reading success."--BOOK JACKET.
