This volume adds in important ways to understanding the power and
complexity of the forces in the lives of children that impact their
literacy learning. The critical issues presented emerge from
interpretivist research and thinking practices that are
constructivist in nature. The chapters by researchers, teacher
researchers, teacher educators, and teachers are antidotes to the
present political context in which political agendas are being used
to define literacy, literacy teaching and learning, and literacy
research in narrow ways. Providing a rich source of information
about how young children come to know reading and writing as a tool
of communication in a range of social and cultural contexts, this
book:
*presents current research and thinking in the field;
*documents research that is currently being ignored by many who
make decisions about children' s learning;
*values "who children are" and what they bring with them to school;
*provides a useful tool for advocacy and for social action toward
improving education in ways that can make a difference in the lives
of young children; and
*raises thoughtful issues for discussion.
"Critical Issues in Early Literacy" is essential reading for early
childhood teachers and prospective teachers, for teacher educators,
for literacy researchers (including teacher researchers), for
special educators, for those working with English-language and
foreign-language learners, and for early childhood education
administrators, advocates, and policy makers.
