This insightful examination of early literacy development bridges the crucial gap between home learning environments and classroom instruction, offering educators a rare glimpse into the foundational skills children develop before formal schooling.

The author moves beyond theoretical discussion to offer concrete suggestions that inspire professional growth and policy change, making it particularly valuable for elementary teachers and literacy specialists. This resource empowers educators to build upon the rich literacy foundations children bring from home, ultimately creating more effective and responsive reading instruction.
