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.
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.
