Teaching Reading in Kindergarten: A Structured Approach to Daily Reading That Helps Every Child Become a Confident, Capable Reader

Description

Randee Bergen knows kindergarten students are capable of reading well beyond the traditional Level C by the end of the year ― because her students have been doing so consistently for years. In this comprehensive resource, Randee outlines her systematic, research-based, and developmentally appropriate approach to teaching reading in kindergarten. From developing phonemic awareness and introducing concepts of print to teaching sight words and building self-monitoring and decoding strategies, Randee shows teachers how to give their students the tools they need to read independently.

I taught fifth grade in a classroom for several years before quitting to stay at home after my two children were born. I started teaching preschool out of my home, and I had no idea how to go from teaching fifth graders to teaching 4 and 5 year olds how to read. This resource is designed for use in a classroom setting, either a full day or half day schedule, but in a home school setting it is just as effective. I learned so much about teaching young learners, and her very structured in-depth instructions make it extremely easy to implement, whether you are a new teacher, a seasoned teacher, a classroom teacher, or a home-school teacher. This resource is worth every penny! Review: This book will change the way you teach kindergarten! ... - This book will change the way you teach kindergarten! I read it over the summer and implemented many of the ideas when school began. I have been teaching for 20 plus years and this book has completely transformed how I teach. I have a classroom full of readers, and my mid-year benchmark tests showed remarkable progress for even my struggling students. Thank you Ms. Bergen for this practical and thoughtful guide for teaching reading to kindergarteners.
