Emergent Literacy: How Young Children Learn to Read and Write.
Strickland, Dorothy S.
Educational Leadership, v47 n6 p18-23 Mar 1990
Literacy is not just a cognitive skill, but a complex activity with social, linguistic, and psychological aspects. Learning to read and write begins early in life, is ongoing, is an interrelated process, involves active participation in meaningful activities, requires responsive interactions, and is enhanced by shared-book experience. Includes 17 references. (MLH)
