As Section 8.1 of your text states the most important visual literacy component

As Section 8.1 of your text states the most important visual literacy component of learning to read is the alphabetic principle (Coats 2013). This understanding that words consist of letters that correspond to sounds must be taught explicitly. After viewing the video The Alphabetic Principle and reading Chapter 8 of your text you will discuss ways in which you can use the alphabetic principle in your teaching and then you will conduct a book review.Select a book that is a rhyming alphabet book.Discuss ways in which we use the alphabetic principle in our classrooms or daily lives. Use the video for examples. Then provide the title and author of the book and give a brief overview of what the book is about. For your book review discuss how the book meets your assigned criteria and how it specifically addresses that skill. Identify ways you can use the book in your classroom to reinforce your assigned criteria.
