Good reading and writing skills are not only essential for
effective communication in today's world - they also form the basis
of a child's continuing education and therefore need to be mastered
in the first few years of schooling. Literacy in the Foundation
Phase discusses the teaching of English as home language in Grades
1, 2 and 3 as described by the Curriculum and Assessment Policy
Statement (CAPS) of 2011. It also touches on the teaching of
literacy in Grade R. Literacy in the Foundation Phase focuses on
the practical teaching of English. In addition, the book's strong
research foundation will enhance any researcher's knowledge of
literacy and how to teach it. The assessment of each language skill
is discussed and examples are provided. This edition offers a
theoretical background to language development and basic literacy.
The book is premised on the importance of a solid language
foundation as key to effective learning and advocates the
desirability of mother-tongue education. Contents include the
following: Diverse approaches to teaching literacy; Teaching of
listening, speaking, reading and viewing, writing, thinking and
reasoning; Language structure and use; Handwriting: print and
cursive writing; Classroom activities and ideas for assessment;
Storytelling methods and ideas; A CD-Rom with a Grade 1 font is

language or as first additional language in the Foundation Phase,
