Meet the challenges of teaching literacy in today's classroom
Reading is more than decoding symbols on a page. It is a
complex, multi-layered process that begins early in a child's life
and encompasses the many social, cultural, and historical contexts
that surround the child. "Literate Lives: Teaching Reading and
Writing in Elementary Classrooms" not only gives you the historical
and theoretical foundations that you need to be a teacher of
reading, writing, and literacy in today's classroom; it helps you
understand the broader, more complete picture of the reading
process and what it means to be a teacher of readers.
In this book, you'll cover the major theories and application
strategies of the reading process, and learn how to organize for
literary instruction in your classroom. As you learn to recognize
and draw upon the multiple literacies that children bring to the
classroom, you will: Become a skilled problem-solver as you work
through real-world examples and study the classroom experiences of
others. Discover how to dig deeper into literacy instruction and
decide on what actions to take. Explore ways to drive and teach
literacy with such tools as children's toys and familiar
characters.
At once engaging and challenging, "Literate Lives" gives you
both the tools and the confidence you need to begin your successful
career as a teacher of literacy.
