"Early Literacy Fundamentals" offers powerful activities to
develop the skills, concepts, and knowledge underpinning early
literacy. It builds on the personal, social, emotional, creative,
and physical development skills that are a traditional part of
early childhood programs.
Based on the latest research, the book recognizes that oral
language is the bedrock upon which formal learning is based and
that literacy: begins at birth and is part of an ongoing
developmental process;develops concurrently with oral language
development;is enhanced by adult models who expose children to
print and how it works;is based on a systematic relationship
between letters and sounds;is rooted in and connected to the
child's culture and communication patterns.
Each of the activities, organized around a seven-strand
framework that reflects successful early childhood practices, is
presented along with background research and practical advice on
helping children initiate their own constructive play. The types of
activities teachers will find include: learning activities
appropriate to a young child's age and stage of development;quality
pre-school activities that boost all children's language and
literacy skills, and build a strong foundation for reading and
literacy success in school;opportunities for children to use oral
language in a variety of ways as they play and experiment with
words;adult-initiated whole-group activities that can be extended
into child-initiated play.
"Early Literacy Fundamentals" provides a comprehensive overview
of the language and literacy experiences children need, and helps
teachers give them a strong base on which future reading and
learning success can grow.
