McNeil, a library youth services manager and storyteller, shows librarians, preschool teachers, and parents how to cultivate early literacy development in young children using specific techniques. She outlines the six basic pre-literacy skills children develop--print motivation, vocabulary, print awareness, narrative skills, phonological awareness, and letter knowledge--and what librarians, teachers, and parents can each do to develop them, using story time, singing and rhyming, and other techniques. She includes book lists and many recommendations; story time openings, songs, and movement rhymes; and tips for using props. She also outlines the research on reading aloud and recommendations for print resources, websites, and early literacy programs.
