Educators are guides on the journey to language and the world of books. Even in early childhood, children show a strong interest in language and writing. Literacy experiences are found everywhere: in self-invented stories, in reading aloud and picture books, in rhymes and poems, in picture book cinemas, in auditory media, CD-ROMs, and apps. In this professional book, the author provides not only the theoretical foundation for the concept of "literacy" but also the diversity of methods and offers a large, up-to-date selection of books and other media for children.
