Reading is the cognitive process of deriving meaning from written
or printed text. It is a means of language acquisition, of
communication, and of sharing information and ideas. Effective
readers use decoding skills (to translate printed text into the
sounds of language), use morpheme, semantics, syntax and context
cues to identify the meaning of unknown words, activate prior
knowledge (schemata theory), use comprehension, and demonstrate
fluency during reading. Other types of reading may not be
text-based, such as music notation or pictograms. By analogy, in
computer science, reading is acquiring of data from some sort of
computer storage. This book presents the latest research in the
field.
Discover the language and learning possibilities of young
children's active engagement with book experiences, in which they
talk with one another as they make meaning from literature centered
around their lives and interests. Drawing from their backgrounds as
teachers and researchers, as well as their many experiences
facilitating and observing read-alouds with diverse students, the
authors provide a practical guide to conducting book discussions
that promote deep engagement and the natural development of
literacy skills. The text includes detailed recommendations for
setting up the classroom reading environment, selecting books,
preparing materials, setting goals, and integrating discussions
with curricular demands, all while maintaining a child-centered
philosophy and addressing the needs of culturally and
linguistically diverse students. Book Talk melds theory about
literacy learning with the practical realities of reading and
talking with young children in 21st-century preschool and primary
classrooms.Book Features: Promotes read-aloud experiences that keep
children, their backgrounds, and their experiences front and
center. Offers guidance for tailoring discussions around specific
learning goals across the literacy curriculum. Shares the authors'
learning journeys and their support for the learning of other early
childhood educators. Includes vignettes from classroom literature
discussions, as well as conversations between educators.
