Jumpstarters: Integrating Environmental Print Throughout the Curriculum

(From back cover):Jump start the literacy process. Helping children become good readers and writers is no easy task---or is it? While learning to read and write takes time, there are important ways to tap into what a child already knows and use this to "jump start" the literacy process. One of these important ways is through environmental print. Environmental print is defined "as print found in the natural environment of the child. This would include logos, labels, road signs, billboards, and other print found in the child's immediate ecology."
