Literacy Unlocked

A PRACTICAL, PROACTIVE GUIDE TO BOOSTING CHILDREN'S READING SUCCESS

A solid foundation in early literacy can play a pivotal role in setting students up for success. Even better-it can prevent reading issues before they arise, saving time, money, and effort spent on interventions. Literacy Unlocked offers K-3 educators and parents a captivating look at how early literacy shapes children's reading development. This book is also full of practical, research-backed guidance on how to implement the science of reading. Additionally, each chapter includes a link to supplementary online materials that can be used in the classroom. As educators transition away from outmoded models of literacy instruction, Literacy Unlocked is an essential resource for empowering young readers.
