Here you will find a copy of the report and video clips of effective early years literacy teaching. The teachers in these clips demonstrate and discuss 33 teaching practices identified through a comprehensive review of research literature. These teaching practices are grouped into six dimensions in the Classroom Literacy Observation Schedule (CLOS) that we created for this project.
