Pre-service and in-service teachers get sound instructional
strategies for teaching the language arts to young children from
birth to kindergarten and enhancing their reading, writing,
speaking and listening development in this unique book that places
children at the center of all good language and literacy teaching.
This book is about teaching the language arts-about facilitating
young children's reading, writing, speaking, and listening
development. In a very readable manner, the book places children at
the center of all good language and literacy teaching, while
focusing on four central themes that run throughout the book: 1.
The authors provide rich descriptions of two perspectives in
children's language and early literacy learning: emergent literacy
and scientifically based reading research, and equip early
childhood teachers with the know how to use the instructional
strategies supported by the research in both perspectives. 2. The
authors acknowledge and take into account the increasing diversity
of our society and schools by providing numerous illustrations of
how teachers can work effectively with diverse learners, providing
special features at the end of chapters that explain how to adapt
instruction for English Language Learners and children with special
needs, and by providing information on the tools teachers can use
to discover what each child knows and can do, in order to build on
that child's prior knowledge. 3. The authors stress that assessment
cannot be separated from good teaching and they describe strategies
that teachers can use to understand children's language and
literacy knowledge in the context of specific learning and teaching
events, while also focusing on today's increasingly important
"accountability" function of assessment and standardized testing
instruments. 4. The authors acknowledge the importance of the
family in young children's language and literacy development and
include descriptions of how early childhood teachers can connect
with families and engage caregivers in their children's school or
center.
