As you read books to your students and with your students, be their literacy mentor…their brain tour guide as you think aloud explaining why and how you work to create meaning as reader and work to share your thinking and be understood as a writer… (Benson, 1997).

1st Philippines ECE Summit

Warmest thanks to the leaders and participants of the Philippines First ECE Summit! It was such a joy to meet you all and to learn from you. I wish you great blessings on the next steps of your journey to making reading and writing and open book for your lucky students :)! Special hugs to Joyce and Maricar!
