This engaging program for 4-, 5-, and 6-year olds in inclusive settings promotes literacy through visual arts, creative movement, drama, and music. Each of the 54 lessons, which can be easily incorporated into existing programs, includes learning objectives, a materials list, strategies for including all students, thematically linked books and songs, and a letter to encourage families to continue the activities at home. Included is a CD-ROM, complete with the entire text of the book, family letters, and learning logs.
