"Makes an interesting and thought-provoking contribution to the field of mathematics instruction. Looking at math and literacy as closely aligned language structures creates a need to rethink the strategies used for math instruction." -Catherine Hernandez, Second-Grade Teacher Detroit Public Schools, MI "It's about time! Teaching literacy has been researched, written about, and rewritten so that it can be taught using the most effective methods for optimal learning. Little of this has transpired for mathematics. This book is very unique." -Deborah Gordon, Third-Grade Teacher Madison Simis School, Phoenix, AZ Transform the way you think about and teach elementary-level mathematics! While many teachers feel confident about their preparation and strategic repertoire for literacy instruction, some are less confident about their preparation and content depth for teaching math. Based on the idea that mathematics and reading are two subject areas more alike than different, What If Your ABCs Were Your 123s? illustrates the parallels between literacy and mathematics and helps elementary teachers take what they know about teaching literacy and apply that knowledge to strengthen their math instruction. Designed for the primary and elementary levels, this practical handbook illustrates how teachers can deepen their own mathematical understanding and improve students' achievement by providing: Teaching scenarios that model the crossover of strategies Comprehension strategies to develop and strengthen students' grasp of foundational concepts Instructional approaches to help students value mathematics and feel competent in their abilities to reason, solve problems, and communicate their thinking Student work samples illustrating literacy and math connections Gain a detailed, comprehensive understanding of the relationship between literacy and numeracy and significantly increase your effectiveness in mathematics instruction!

Talking Beyond the Page shows how different kinds of picturebooks can be used with children of all ages and highlights the positive educational gains to be made from reading, sharing, talking and writing about picturebooks.

With contributions from some of the world's leading experts, chapters in this book consider how:

  • children's responses can be qualitatively improved by encouraging them to think and talk about picturebooks before, during and after reading them
  • the non-text features of picturebooks, when considered in their own right, can help readers to make more sense out of the book
  • different kinds of picturebooks, such as wordless, postmodern, multimodal and graphic novels, are structured
  • children can respond creatively to picturebooks as art forms
  • picturebooks can help children deal with complex issues in their lives

Talking beyond the Page also includes an exclusive interview with Anthony Browne who shares thoughts about his work as an author illustrator.

This inspiring and thought provoking book is essential reading for teachers, student teachers, literacy consultants, academics interested in picturebook research and those organising and teaching on teacher education courses in children's literature and literacy.

Jessica Whitelaw
R1,236 Discovery Miles 12 360 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book highlights the unique and co-generative intersections of the arts and literacy that promote critical and socially engaged teaching and learning. Based on a year-long ethnography with two literacy teachers and their students in an arts-based public high school, this volume makes an argument for arts-based education as the cultivation of a critical aesthetic practice in the literacy classroom. Through rich example and analysis, it shows how, over time, this practice alters the in-school learning space in significant ways by making it more constructivist, more critical, and fundamentally more relational.

Understanding Language Classroom Contexts - The Starting Point for Change (Hardcover, New): Martin Wedell, Angi Malderez Understanding Language Classroom Contexts - The Starting Point for Change (Hardcover, New)
Martin Wedell, Angi Malderez
R4,312 Discovery Miles 43 120 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Arguably the whole point of education is to effect change in what people know and are able to do. Globalization has contributed to a common perception worldwide of the need to introduce changes to the teaching and learning of languages. The success of many attempts to do so has been limited by insufficient consideration of implementation contexts. Understanding Language Classroom Contexts explores and illustrates how what happens in any (language) classroom is influenced by (and can be an influence on) the contexts in which it is situated. A clear understanding of these influences is thus the starting point for planning effective change. The book considers many visible and invisible features of the multiple layers of any context, and provides a framework for understanding the types of factors that may influence whether changes (planned by a teacher or externally initiated) are likely to be successful. The book will help teachers (and educational managers or change planners outside the classroom) to understand why their classrooms are as they are and so to make informed decisions about what can or cannot (or not easily) be changed, and suggests how any changes might be appropriately managed.

Cory Gann
R1,688 Discovery Miles 16 880 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Key Words: Reclaiming Children's Precious Vocabulary is about early and emergent literacy- it promotes the concept that each child possesses a key vocabulary of words that are special and magical. These words conjure emotions that can lead them into the enterprise of reading. Words such as mom or love or a sister's name, a friend, or a beloved game - these expressions are read by the young child even before they have commenced formal decoding. They are sight words - but of a special kind, because they evoke an emotional response. They are called "key" and each child might well produce her or his own key ring of thirty or forty words. They become the stuff of writing, the personal and the meaningful, in accordance with all of the honored theory about nurturing young writers. This book is full of classroom stories that elaborate the process of a key word approach. The stories are humorous, engaging and inspiring. They are accompanied by specific, detailed guidelines for instituting a key word program in any early childhood classroom. Special attention is paid to students' progression into writing curriculum as an outgrowth of doing words. The context of culturally relevant, equity and anti-bias education is established throughout every chapter.

Black Communications and Learning to Read - Building on Children's Linguistic and Cultural Strengths (Hardcover): Terry... Black Communications and Learning to Read - Building on Children's Linguistic and Cultural Strengths (Hardcover)
Terry Meier
R4,232 Discovery Miles 42 320 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book is about effective literacy instruction for students in grades K-4 who use the language variety that many linguists call African American English, but which, as explained in the Introduction, the author calls Black Communications (BC). Throughout, considerable attention is given to discussing the integral and complex interconnections among African American language, culture, and history, drawing significantly on examples from African American historical and literary sources. Although it is theoretical in its description of the BC system and its discussion of research on language socialization in African American communities, the major focus of this book is pedagogy. Many concrete examples of successful classroom practices are included so that teachers can readily visualize and use the strategies and principles presented. *Part I, 'What is Black Communications?" presents an overview of the BC system, providing a basic introduction to the major components of the language-phonology, grammar, lexicon, and pragmatics, and illustrating how these components work in synchrony to create a coherent whole. *Part II, "Language Socialization in the African American Discourse Community," examines existing research on African American children's language socialization. *Part III, "Using African American Children's Literature," draws connections between strategy instruction and the linguistic and rhetorical abilities discussed in Part II. Each chapter ends with suggestions for using African American literature to help children develop their speaking and writing abilities. *Part IV, "Children Using Language," moves from a focus on teaching comprehension strategies to helping BC speakers learn to decode text. This volume is directed to researchers, faculty, and graduate students in the fields of language and literacy education and linguistics, and is well-suited as a text for graduate-level courses in these areas.
