Bridge-to-Reading is a comprehensive, year-long reading readiness curriculum for use with 2 1/2 -- 6-year-old children. A major objective of this series is to establish a positive motivation framework for reading instruction, based on early learning experiences that are pleasant, nonpressured, and exciting. The curriculum is arranged into seven sections, with each section presented in a separate notebook that contains daily activity plans. Bridge-to-Reading was designed so that any adult following the activity guides would be able to present a variety of semi-individualized experiences for children. Section 2 is a collection of discussion guides providing possible topics and methods for conversations with groups of preschoolers. The guides are informal, with emphasis on developing conversational English and ease in language usage. (DP)
