Literacy and Young Children : Research-Based Practices Paperback / softback
Edited by Diane M. Barone, Lesley Mandel Morrow
Part of the Solving Problems in the Teaching of Literacy series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book presents current, research-based best practices for supporting young children's development as readers and writers.
From leading figures in early literacy, the book demonstrates that scientifically grounded instruction need not be dull, drill-oriented, or one-size-fits-all.
Rather, it describes language-rich approaches to engaging with children's existing levels of knowledge while moving them to more complex literacy understandings.
Topics covered include the impact of home literacy experiences, teaching English learners and culturally diverse children, phonemic awareness and word knowledge for preschoolers, new uses for communication technologies and informational text, and fluency instruction.
Also addressed are professional development issues, including teacher training practices that support change.
Exemplary teaching strategies and activities are clearly depicted and illustrated with samples of student work, providing Pre-K-3 teachers with many useful ideas that can be readily applied in the classroom.
