Pre-service and in-service teachers get sound instructional
strategies for teaching the language arts to young children from
birth to kindergarten and enhancing their reading, writing,
speaking and listening development in this unique book that places
children at the center of all good language and literacy teaching.
This book is about teaching the language arts-about facilitating
young children's reading, writing, speaking, and listening
development. In a very readable manner, the book places children at
the center of all good language and literacy teaching, while
focusing on four central themes that run throughout the book: 1.
The authors provide rich descriptions of two perspectives in
children's language and early literacy learning: emergent literacy
and scientifically based reading research, and equip early
childhood teachers with the know how to use the instructional
strategies supported by the research in both perspectives. 2. The
authors acknowledge and take into account the increasing diversity
of our society and schools by providing numerous illustrations of
how teachers can work effectively with diverse learners, providing
special features at the end of chapters that explain how to adapt
instruction for English Language Learners and children with special
needs, and by providing information on the tools teachers can use
to discover what each child knows and can do, in order to build on
that child's prior knowledge. 3. The authors stress that assessment
cannot be separated from good teaching and they describe strategies
that teachers can use to understand children's language and
literacy knowledge in the context of specific learning and teaching
events, while also focusing on today's increasingly important
"accountability" function of assessment and standardized testing
instruments. 4. The authors acknowledge the importance of the
family in young children's language and literacy development and
include descriptions of how early childhood teachers can connect
with families and engage caregivers in their children's school or
center.
How children acquire language and literacy knowledge in many
different contexts-and how teachers can effectively promote the
development of oral and written language-is the focus of this
highly regarded resource. Readers get an authoritative look at how
children acquire language and literacy in a variety of contexts and
how teachers can effectively promote development in oral and
written language. Teaching Language and Literacy integrates a
constructivist/emergent literacy perspective with
scientifically-based instructional practices that are successful in
supporting children's reading, writing, listening and speaking
development. This new edition features the work of a new author,
Kathleen Roskos, and includes numerous up to date references,
examples, and hands-on activities for putting theory into practice
in today's classrooms.
High-quality preschool programs are essential to improving
children's outcomes in reading achievement and leveling language
and literacy disparities among students from diverse backgrounds.
Grounded in state-of-the-art research evidence, this
practice-oriented book demonstrates how preschool professionals can
create, evaluate, and sustain exemplary programs. Chapters from
leading authorities cover coaching, assessment, and
differentiation, as well as explicit strategies for teaching
English language learners and helping at-risk readers. Discussion
questions and suggested activities for professional development are
included, as are reproducible assessment forms and planning tools
for use in the classroom.
