"I have never been given such a clear explanation of our language. Any teacher dealing with language arts should be taking this course." —Kathy Bonfigli, third grade teacher, Malletts Bay School, Colchester, Vermont

A great early literacy teacher is one of the most important allies a young child can have—and this interactive textbook-on-DVD gives educators the best, most complete preparation for promoting young children's reading success. Developed for K–3 general and special educators, Mastering the Alphabetic Principle gives educators thorough coverage of the major aspects of early literacy—including phonemic and phonological awareness, phonics, and fluency—in an engaging, hands-on format that ensures teachers learn fast and retain their knowledge.

The enhanced and expanded new version of the respected TIME/RIME Online, MAP helps schools implement scientifically based reading instruction and improve teacher quality. Shaped by the feedback of 3,000 teachers, MAP gives current and future teachers much more than a conventional textbook can:

• Flexible view and review format.Optimize learning with up to 45 hours of material to learn and practice at your own pace
  
  
• Up-to-date commentary from today's top reading experts. With dozens of video clips from Reid Lyon, Barbara Foorman, Louisa Moats, Joe Torgesen, Anita Archer, and many more, teachers will get explicit guidance on early literacy development.
  
  
• Activities and interactive quizzes to prepare teachers for the classroom
  
  
• Manual on CD-ROM with more information about each slide on the DVDs and a complete transcript of the material for easy referral to key points

Equally useful for preservice training in a university classroom or inservice professional development with individuals or groups, this comprehensive course is the most vivid, explicit teaching tool available for K–3 literacy teachers. Special and general educators will have a MAP for high-quality, research-based instruction—and their students will develop the skills they need to be confident, enthusiastic readers.
