This book is intended for early-childhood practitioners such as teachers, directors and staffers of educational centers and projects, teachers-in-training (and their teachers) and inservice teachers. The first section establishes a framework for viewing preschool programs as essential contexts for improving educational outcomes--particularly in the areas of early language and literacy. Scientifically based reading research (SBRR) and the professional development of early education and care are also discussed. Teacher support, the optimization of early learning environments, and a review of decision-making based on data from literary program reviews, evaluations, screening and curriculum-based measurement are considered.
