"If There's a Dance in the Book, I Feel It...Inside": Lessons in Emergent Literacy.
Werner, Kathleen
Early Childhood Education Journal, v28 n1 p11-18 Fall 2000
Presents a case study to illustrate the impact that an emergent literacy environment both at home and at school can have on literacy acquisition. Highlights interviews with 31 nursery school children about their perceptions of reading. Notes that hypotheses formed about language learning by age 3 offer food for thought in view of increasingly popular lockstep language arts programs. (Author/KB)
