Literacy Learning Begins at Birth . . . . . . and continues
throughout our lives! Birth to age 5 is a critical period in
building the foundation for later success in reading and writing.
Educators play a vital role in nurturing young children's early
language and literacy knowledge and skills. However, the specific
practices that support literacy development in early childhood are
often different than those used with older children. From some of
the foremost early literacy development experts in the field comes
this practical resource that is a must-have for all educators of
infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Using eight key
practices-Knowing, Showing, Designing, Including, Engaging,
Explaining, Observing, and Responding-as the framework, the authors
discuss how educators can support five important areas of young
children's early literacy development: Language and knowledge Print
concepts Sounds and letters Writing Text comprehension A range of
features highlights information about these areas and practices,
including the latest research findings, recommended resources, tips
for integrating technology into play and learning, and more. With
this book, explore how to create effective, appropriate, and fun
learning opportunities for our littlest literacy learners.
Synthesizing the best current knowledge about early literacy, this
comprehensive handbook brings together leading researchers from
multiple disciplines. The volume identifies the instructional
methods and areas of focus shown to be most effective for promoting
young children's (PreK-2) growth in reading, writing, oral
language, and the connections among them. In 33 chapters, the
Handbook covers conceptual foundations; development and instruction
of both code- and meaning-related literacy skills; professional
development and family engagement; supporting equity across
populations; and learning beyond traditional boundaries, including
digital and out-of-school contexts. Highlighted throughout are
issues around access to high-quality instruction, working with
multilingual populations, and data-based decision making and
interventions.
