This literacy-building reference is a synthesis of the author's experience in the fields of Early Childhood, Montessori and Brain Gym®.

The theory covers the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual aspects of development on the road to literacy.

The lessons follow an early childhood scope and sequence. They are scaffolded to show how multiple skills can be in-process simultaneously. Word lists are included to make it easy to implement immediately.

Besides the detailed lesson plans, there are Stories from the Schoolroom and Ideal to Real commentary interwoven throughout the documents.

This is a valuable resource for all early childhood professionals.
