Daycare Book-a-thon: Preservice Teachers Enhancing the Reading Experience of Preschool Children.
Lowery, Ruth McKoy
Early Childhood Education Journal, v30 n3 p171-75 Spr 2003
The Daycare Book-a-thon is a project that targets at-risk preschoolers, providing books donated from preservice teachers in a children's literature course along with bookmarks highlighting ways parents can read and extend the books with their children at home. Through this activity, preservice teachers come to understand the diverse student population and learn ways they can help young children to prepare for school. (Author/KB)
