Get inservice teachers ready to improve children's early literacy outcomes with this complete professional development package. Trainers of early childhood educators will get a two-part set to use in tandem: a DVD filmed at the highly respected, award-winning Arlitt Child and Family Research & Education Center at the University of Cincinnati, and a corresponding PowerPoint presentation on CD-ROM.

On the DVD—filled with lively classroom footage, insightful teacher reflections, and commentary from early childhood experts—educators will see first-hand how to

plan intentional teaching opportunities
implement activities that promote print awareness and early writing
make the most of interactive reading
incorporate quality literature into the curriculum
integrate literacy supports throughout the whole classroom

And with the CD-ROM, teacher trainers will have more than 80 PowerPoint slides with supplementary content, including helpful outlines of the key take-away points, discussion questions about the DVD footage, and instructions on how to make simple classroom materials that help children learn.

A vivid inside look at what really works in language arts instruction, this CD-and-DVD set is the ideal way to strengthen teaching practices—and arm young children with the early literacy skills they'll need to succeed in school.
