title: Environmental print as strategy for developmental literacy of young atypical children.
abstract: 12 children with handicapping problems were taught various strategies during a two-year period. These programs, designed to enrich their appreciation and awareness of the sounds of letters and how they are used, increased the children's attention span, parental participation with children and teacher, and promoted active involvement in reading.
