Emergent Literacy in an Early Childhood Classroom: Center Learning To Support the Child with Special Needs.
Genisio, Margaret; Drecktrah, Mary
Early Childhood Education Journal, v26 n4 p225-31 Sum 1999
Acknowledges that children with special needs flourish and benefit from early-childhood environments that empower learning. Discusses center learning, which allows children to be actively engaged in self-directed learning based on strength, ability, and interest. Suggests that center learning can enhance aspects related to emergent literacy development and is limited only by the imagination of early-childhood educators. (LBT)
