Description

`Jeni Riley and David Reedy share excellent examples of how primary school children worked on a non-fiction text format....

A well-informed book with a welcome dose of humour′ - Nursery World`The theoretical underpinning to this volume is rigorous and the case studies are both endearing and informative′ - Early Years`One of the insights of social theories of language which is now taken for granted is that language varies as the social context varies′ (Kress, 1997) This is a book that operationalizes this insight: it charts young children′s early attempts to write as they struggle to communicate meaning for a variety of purposes.

Each section deals with the appropriate research evidence on the development of children′s competence in literacy, and their growing awareness of genre, and uniquely, with a clear approach to teaching children from three to seven years.

The text combines the necessary theoretical underpinning plus the day-to-day practical experience of working with young children in order to develop their understanding of the different forms and language of texts.
