Celebrating Literacy!
Many of the strategies above were drawn from "The Handbook of Early Literacy Strategies and Activities." The handbook was compiled by Rebecca Knaub, who offers a special thanks to Allison Swan and Angela Villella.
We acknowledge and thank the Pittsburgh Year One LEADERS teachers for sharing their ideas and successes.
