An ideal supplement to any classroom curriculum, Ladders to Literacy is an effective way to help children at risk for reading failure without giving up current language arts programming. Adopted by school districts throughout the United States, the innovative Preschool and Kindergarden Activity Books each offer teachers more than 50 fun, skill-building activities to use with their students. Each book is organized into three sections emphasizing print awareness, metalinguistic skills, and oral language skills, all of which strongly correlate with reading success. By Selecting activities from each section, teachers can focus on areas in which the class needs the most work and still give students well-rounded, comprehensive instruction. Each field-tested activity comes with scaffolding suggestions so teachers can very levels of demands and supports depending on individual children's abilities. And the early literacy activities for children and parents included in each book help strengthen the home-school literacy link.
