Product reviews for The Literacy Toolkit

Michael Proust once said, “I believe that reading, it its original essence, [is] that fruitful miracle of communication in the midst of solitude.” In the Literacy Toolkit, Sara reminds teachers of English, that this type of communication happens regardless of the way one reads (beyond it's original essence). For example when watching a film, reading a picture, decoding words, listening to a book on tape or doing any of these things simultaneously ” there is always a solitary communication that occurs. It happens also through writing.

So part of the process of supporting literacy development is to help children become critical readers of the messages they will inevitably encounter and critical writers of the messages they will inevitably send and the Literacy Toolkit offers strategies to help achieve this.
