Parallel Learning of Reading and Writing in Early Childhood
explores why it's important to provide a balanced language learning
environment for young children and offers approaches for children
to practice and explore language. Writing - a different but
parallel process - can open the door to reading, and an effective
writing approach in the home and early childhood classrooms leads
to the development of phonemic awareness, understanding of phonetic
principles, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Effective early
childhood teachers are those that extend the knowledge children
have amassed at home and use the knowledge of how children learn
naturally in the world to inform their practice. This book offers
the purpose, context, and outcomes of including writing right from
the start in young children's literacy learning. Through analysis
of writing samples, research, and principles of best practices,
Shea outlines the essential ingredients for early language learning
and provides a developmentally appropriate approach to language
learning. Throughout the chapters, Shea integrates discussion of
assessment, classroom environment, instructional/teacher
scaffolding, and differentiating instruction across developmental
levels along with the supporting theory. Special features:
vignettes and descriptions of Pre-K, K, and Grade 1 classrooms that
incorporate writing across the day artifacts of children's writing
that demonstrate an evolution of knowledge related to both message
and word construction concept labeling words and topic specific

foster meaningful, joyful, and motivated learning.
