Children's early experiences of literacy have a major influence on
how they continue to learn as they grow older. Children enter early
childhood programs and school with a wealth of knowledge and
understandings of literacy. It is critical that early childhood
professionals and teachers recognise and build on this learning.
Literacy Learning in the Early Years offers a practical
introduction to literacy issues for early childhood professionals
and teachers working with children aged 0-8, in childcare,
preschool and school contexts. The authors take a socio-cultural
approach to literacy learning, emphasising the importance of
understanding the various contexts in which young children are
involved in literacy practices. They explore a range of literacy
issues that early childhood professionals and teachers are facing
in the 21st century. These issues include the role of play in
literacy learning, how to use information communication
technologies with young children and ways of introducing critical
literacy. Literacy is understood broadly and readers are encouraged
to explore a range of print and other media with children. With
chapters from both Australian and UK authors Literacy Learning in
the Early Years is an ideal professional reference and student
text. a very useful introductory text to literacy development in
early childhood. It is clearly written and accessible to the wide
range of professionals working with young children as well as to
teachers and parents. It will be a valuable text in training at
initial and in-service levels on a wide range of courses. Lesley
Abbott, Professor of Early Childhood Education, Manchester
Metropolitan University this well written, comprehensive book
combines many practical examples of learning to do literacy and
suggestions for action, and all the while engages the reader with
questions and starting points for reflection. Susan Hill, Associate
professor, The Centre for Studies in Literacy, University of South
Australia
