In this article, we describe how early childhood educators can purposefully plan for and scaffold vocabulary learning during open-ended art activities.
In this article, we discuss the benefits of engaging children in math learning through shared reading, outlining strategies that early childhood educators can use to extend the math during shared reading of both mathematical and non-mathematical books.

When reading together, families can support early language and comprehension skills by offering short sentence stems, or sentence starters, to help children share what they are thinking and learning.
Sentence stems are typically used in elementary school to help children learn to write, but they can be used to support oral language development in preschool—particularly with dual language learners.
Here we describe how we worked with center staff, teachers, and students in our undergraduate early literacy class to create community responsive listening centers in seven classrooms.
This article pairs books from a variety of social and cultural perspectives with activities that meld literacy and math concepts related to counting, shapes, measurement, classifying, and patterning.
This article on digital storybooks used in early childhood settings provides an international collaboration comparing teachers’ and children’s interactions in two cultural settings.
In this article, we look at how a service-learning project helped foster receptive language competencies for infants through art experiences and encouraged socially and culturally responsive practices by students.
