Introducing

Dr. Marta’s Literacy Learning Guides 

MCESS is committed to the use of quality children’s literature to promote the ability, enjoyment and interest in reading among children. While children’s literature pre-dates the digital world, it is being under-utilized to promote reading in places where children spend substantial time. This is in part because many adults charged with the care and instruction of children lack practical instructional tools to tap into the power of children’s literature to meet children where they are and lead them to where the need to go. 

Dr. Marta’s Literacy Learning Guides are instructional tools designed to assist adults (ie. child care providers, parents and/or teachers) to access the power of children’s literature to promote reading. Each literacy learning guide contains seven activities in lesson plan format. The activities are designed to provide multiple opportunities for children to process vocabulary, events, themes and concepts drawn from the  selected children’s book. The literacy learning guides encourage children to use all five senses to draw meaning from the text as they develop attention span, retention, comprehension and critical thinking skills in preparation for more complex tasks.

Dr. Marta’s Literacy Learning Guides focus on children between three and seven years of age and are currently available for purchase on www.lulu.com; KEYWORD: “Dr. Marta D. Collier”.
