The Most Important Words
Katch, Jane
Educational Leadership, v61 n6 p62 Mar 2004
Preschoolers enthusiastically tackle reading when they get to read and share their "special" words. The author, a preschool teacher, describes a successful classroom strategy for helping students make the connection between print and meaning. As students develop word lists that have special meaning for them and then use these words in stories and plays, they learn important early reading skills.
