(I am not real sure that I have
question #3 correct).
On question #3- my text states:
Preschool children whose parents read
to them,take them to the library,
provided alphabet books and discussed television shows were more likely to demostrate early literacy skills such as writing their name,writing letters,
and asking for help in reading signs.
Please Help!!
I would agree with you on all of those.
Since you have been helping me in my studies pretty much-- do you agree also that my answers are correct?
Yes. I read your question and GuruBlue's answer shortly after she posted it. I agree with her. :-)
