Synopsis

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. Companion emergent reading materials developed just for kindergartners available for download!
