How do we save play in a standard-driven educational environment?
This edited collection, Play and Literacy: Play & Culture
Studies provides a direct answer and solutions to this question.
Researchers and theorists have argued for decades that play is the
best way to learn language and literacy for children. This book
provides theoretical and historical foundation of connection
between play and literacy, applied research studies as well as
practical strategies to connect play and literacy in early
childhood and in teacher education. This book features chapters on
the history of play and literacy research, book-play paradigm, play
in digital writing, book-based play activities, play-based reader
responses, classroom dynamics affecting literacy learning in play,
and using play with adults in teacher education such as drama-based
instruction. Variety of chapters addressing the strong connection
between play and literacy will satisfy the readers who seek to
understand the relationship between play and literacy and implement
ways to use play to support language and literacy.
Educators have long been pursuing and applying ways that play can
be a context and even a medium for teaching and learning. Volume 15
of Play & Culture Studies focuses on the special topic on Play
and Curriculum, a long waited topic to many educators and
researchers in the field of play and education. This volume
includes chapters reporting recent studies and practical ideas
examining the relations between the play and curriculum from early
education to higher education. The volume has 3 sections with the 9
chapters grouped to represent various voices on play and
curriculum: in Culture, in STEM, in Higher Education. The
uniqueness of this book is represented by its breadths and depths
of diversity from investigating play and curriculum in an
indigenous group in Columbia to play in a New York City Public
school and from play and curriculum in a Family Child Care context
to the uses of play with college students.
