`The theoretical underpinning to this volume is rigorous and the case studies are both endearing and informative′ - Early Years
`One of the insights of social theories of language which is now taken for granted is that language varies as the social context varies′ (Kress, 1997)
This is a book that operationalizes this insight: it charts young children′s early attempts to write as they struggle to communicate meaning for a variety of purposes. Each section deals with the appropriate research evidence on the development of children′s competence in literacy, and their growing awareness of genre, and uniquely, with a clear approach to teaching children from three to seven years. The text combines the necessary theoretical underpinning plus the day-to-day practical experience of working with young children in order to develop their understanding of the different forms and language of texts.
