Competency 5-Tagging/Indexing

Literacy and the Youngest Learner: Best Practices for Educators of Children from Birth to 5 by V. Susan Bennett-Armeitead is a book all about early literacy research, skills, and strategies for early education teachers. Since studies show that literacy develops earlier than when a child enters elementary school, this book provides educators with literacy-rich activities and ways to create a literacy environments early on in a child's life. It also has photographs and examples of student work.
This is the tag cloud for the book

I chose this book because I feel that it would be a wonderful resource for my blog's topic, early literacy skills. Although, at first glance, literacy is not the highest tagged word, it is actually tagged three times: early and family literacy, ECE literacy, and literacy. Unlike many other books I found on this subject, it has tags of infants, toddler, and preschool, along with early childhood. It is also tagged as being professional.
