{"product_id":"literacy-theory-as-practice","title":"Literacy Theory as Practice","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive textbook introduces readers to the most influential theories and models of reading and literacy, ranging from behaviorism and early information-processing theories to social constructionist and critical theories. Focusing on how these theories connect with different curricular approaches to literacy instruction (pre-K to grade 12), the author shows how they both shape and are shaped by everyday literacy practices in classrooms. Readers are invited to explore detailed vignettes that offer a practice-based view of theories as they are brought to life in the classroom. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike other books on literacy theories, this one \u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003edevotes substantial attention to linguistically and culturally diverse classrooms and 21st-century technologies. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescriptions of well-known curricular models and assessment approaches. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed examples from specific areas of reading and literacy instruction that are prominent in today’s schools. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTextbox discussions exploring histories, terminology, and debates relevant to the theories presented. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamination of how theories and practices relate to current policy initiatives, such as the Common Core State Standards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser-friendly text features, such as charts, reference lists, and inset boxes to help clarify complex concepts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Teachers' College Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54611566166360,"sku":"9780807757055","price":42.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/literacy-theory-as-practice","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
