practice in speech-language pathology. The book's focus is primarily the emergent literacy period of development, transcending toddlerhood to the kindergarten year and corresponding to the years preceding formal literacy and reading instruction.

The book answers the question, "what can speech-language pathologists do today to include literacy as a target in childhood intervention?"
