How do responsive adult-child interactions influence early language
development? How do a child's language skills develop in tandem
with social-emotional development, executive function, and
literacy? What are effective ways to help parents support their
child's development? Uncover the answers to these questions in this
fascinating book, which draws on current research to examine
connections between language, social-emotional, and literacy
development and profiles effective programs that support this
development. You'll begin with a research-based examination of
critical topics such as: *How the brain develops in the first years
of life *Why parent-child attachment is fundamental to early
development *What responsive and language-rich parent-child
exchanges look like *How children learn the building blocks of
language and literacy *Which guiding principles professionals
should follow for effective intervention *Which economic arguments
support early development Building on this foundational knowledge,
the book gives you snapshots of more than a dozen programs that
support language and literacy development by coaching parents and
providing books for young children. You'll learn how these programs
promote responsive adult-child interactions and expand children's
access to books, and you'll get brief summaries of the research
that demonstrates the success of each program. Essential reading
for researchers, administrators, and educators, this synthesis of
science and practical guidance will help you foster foundational
language skills and nurture the healthy development of every young
child.
The field of early literacy has seen significant recent advances in
theory, research, and practice. This volume brings together leading
authorities to report on current findings, integrate insights from
different disciplinary perspectives, and explore ways to provide
children with the strongest possible literacy foundations in the
first six years of life. The Handbook first addresses broad
questions about the nature of emergent literacy, summarizing
current knowledge on cognitive pathways, biological underpinnings,
and the importance of cultural contexts. Chapters in subsequent
sections examine various strands of knowledge and skills that
emerge as children become literate, as well as the role played by
experiences with peers and families. Particular attention is
devoted to the challenges involved in making schools work for all
children, including members of linguistic and ethnic minority
groups and children living in poverty. Finally, approaches to
instruction, assessment, and early intervention are described, and
research on their effectiveness is presented.
In this exciting new book, you'll travel into the homes and schools
of over 70 young children from diverse backgrounds and observe
parent-child and teacher-child interactions. Through research
gathered in the Home School Study of Language and Literacy
Development, the authors share with you the relationship they've
found between these critical, early interactions and children's
kindergarten language and literacy skills. You'll explore both the
home and school environments of these children at ages 3, 4, and 5.
You'll see how families talk to their young children during
everyday activities like book reading, toy play, and mealtimes.
You'll also examine children's conversations throughout the
classroom day and consider how teachers strive to support
children's development. In each chapter, you'll see how the data
was collected read actual transcripts of parent-child and teacher-
child interactions recognize how these interactions relate to later
development get suggestions for supporting children's language and
literacy development learn how these findings play out in the lives
of four of the children in the study Find out how young children's
home and classroom experiences during the preschool years are
related to their kindergarten language and literacy skills, and
discover the kinds of conversations that make a difference.
This practical guide shows teachers how to introduce academic
language to young children, with an emphasis on appreciating and
leveraging linguistic diversity. New educational standards are
asking students to master content-area concepts and increasingly
complex texts in earlier grades. This practitioner-friendly text
provides instructional materials, sample dialogs, and assessment
tools to facilitate academic language use in PreK–3 classrooms.
The authors describe the word, sentence, and discourse levels of
academic language, while encouraging teachers and students to
consider purpose, participants, discipline, and context. Strategies
are provided to help readers adapt language for a variety of
academic purposes across mathematics, science, play, mealtimes, and
ELA instruction. The text includes discussion questions,
reproducible activities, planning materials, assessment tools, and
handouts to facilitate smooth implementation into classroom
practice. From Words to Wisdom will empower teachers to build
bridges to academic success for all young learners. Book Features:
Expands teachers' understanding of academic language beyond
vocabulary to include syntax and discourse-level features. Includes
specific strategies, activities, and suggestions for teaching from
and with academic language across multiple settings and
disciplines. Addresses all students, including multilingual and
linguistically diverse speakers. Incorporates user-friendly
features, such as text boxes, vignettes, assessment protocols, and
sample teaching materials.

Building crucial bridges between theory, research, and practice,
this volume brings together leading authorities on the literacy
development of young children. The Handbook examines the full range
of factors that shape learning in and out of the classroom, from
basic developmental processes to family and sociocultural contexts,
pedagogical strategies, curricula, and policy issues. Highlights of
Volume 3 include cutting-edge perspectives on English language
learning; innovative ways to support print knowledge, phonological
awareness, and other code-related skills; and exemplary approaches
to early intervention and teacher professional development.
