This book pulls together the experiences of teachers and children in pre-school through Grade 3. It demonstrates that nonfiction composing is a highly creative process for young children. It provides suggestions for writing assignments, focused reading, and assessment. The theme that underlines this book is that joy and creativity are inherently part of nonfiction and non-narrative composing with young children.
Susan J. Britsch is associate professor of Literacy and Language Education in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at Purdue University. A former preschool teacher, her interests include the development of children’s original storytelling, children’s writing in nonfiction genres, and the integration of science and literacy curricula in elementary schools. She has published numerous academic articles about children’s language and literacy development and about the ways in which teachers can take a research perspective to young children’s literate behavior in classrooms.
