So Much More than the ABCs: The Early Phases of Reading and Writing, Revised Edition
English
By (author): Judith A. Schickedanz Molly F. Collins
Laying a Strong Foundation for Literacy in the Early Years
A childs literacy development begins long before their formal education does. The skills and knowledge that infants, toddlers, and preschoolers acquire through meaningful, playful language and literacy experiences are the building blocks of their later success in reading and writing.
How do early childhood educators foster young childrens understanding of reading and writing during this emergent literacy period? Moreover, how can they nurture a love of reading and writing? With these two questions at its core, the revised edition of this bestselling resource provides
- A comprehensive and updated overview of what literacy development looks like for children from birth through age 5
- Instructional approaches that support robust early language, literacy, and content knowledge learning
- Considerations for choosing and sharing materials and for designing the physical environment in ways that support language and literacy learning
- Recommendations for developmentally appropriate books that engage childrens minds and imaginations
- Authentic writing samples that showcase young childrens thinking around and explorations with mark making
Grounded in new research and drawn from the authors extensive experience, this book gives educators the tools they need to create and build on learning opportunities that will lead to thriving, motivated readers and writers.
