Extractions: If you spend any amount of time with a child, as a parent, teacher, or caregiver, the free resource Teaching Our Youngest was written for you! It is a resource for those who want to introduce age appropriate reading techniques to a child, or for those who are interested in offering learning experiences to help provide a healthy foundation required for successful reading. Teaching Our Youngest can also be for the person who doesn't have a lot of time to spend teaching a child to read, but wants to confirm that the child is receiving adequate exposure to skills needed to develop positive lifelong language habits. This very straightforward and easy to read 38 page publication conveniently summarizes years and years of proven techniques and research used to develop and improve reading skills within the young child (from birth to age five.) Teaching Our Youngest presents very basic suggestions and activities to enrich reading skills followed by advice for informally assessing a child's progress. The guide not only offers simple strategies you can present and teach anywhere (i.e., while driving with your child, at home, waiting in lines, or in the classroom,), but also gives real-life classroom examples for reassurance with instruction. Valuable information on building support and communication between teacher and parent is also covered. The publication then concludes with clearly defining and making sense of the forever changing "buzz words" related with teaching reading and further recommends updated resources.

Extractions: Lally, J.R. (1997). Curriculum and lesson planning: A responsive approach . Unpublished manuscript. WestEd, Sausalito, CA. Introduction Curriculum and Lesson Planning Planning for work with infants, if done correctly, cannot be static. It must be flexible and dynamic by design. Any plan for infants should recognize that once an interaction with children begins a caregiver will have to adapt his or her plans and actions to meet the momentary needs and interests of each child. The child's unique thoughts, feelings, needs, and interests must be seen as part of the equation. Lesson plans should, in addition to specifying particular content and materials, include strategies to broaden the caregiver's understanding of, and deepen the relationship with each child served. Good plans : start with activities that orient the caregiver to the role of facilitator of learning rather than the role of teacher, and assist the caregiver to read the cues of each infant served.
