Barbara K. Gunn, Deborah C. Simmons, Edward J. Kameenui
http://idea.uoregon.edu/~ncite/documents/techrep/tech20.html
In this review of the emergent literacy literature, we identified areas of emerging evidence that have instructional implications for teaching beginning reading to students with diverse literacy experiences and learning needs. We attempt to connect research and practice by responding to two focal questions: (a) What are the research-based "big ideas," or instructional priorities, for emergent literacy? and, (b) For those instructional priorities, what is the existing research evidence regarding curriculum design?
