About this title

Synopsis

This book presents recommendations for teaching literacy, which combine developmentally appropriate early childhood practice with current views of emergent literacy and whole language instruction. The authors link the early childhood, emergent literacy, and whole language research recommendations with constructivist learning theory.

From the Publisher

A "holistic," developmental approach to teaching emergent readers from pre-Kindergarten through the primary grades. This text presents the latest research findings in the field of emergent literacy, linking these findings directly to early childhood education theory in a way that is easy-to-understand and apply, with numerous illustrations of ways to implement these findings in the classroom. Coverage follows development from infancy through independent reading and writing...explaining the theory behind developmentally appropriate practice describing these teaching techniques within home and classroom environments. Emphasis is on the constructivist approach to gaining knowledge through exploration and discovery. Recent breakthroughs in understanding children's self-initiated reading and writing activities also help explain a child-centered method of reading instruction.
