Description

50 Early Childhood Literacy Strategies is the answer to the early childhood teacher's dilemma of how to teach reading to children 3, 4, and 5 years of age as mandated by the state and national governments.  This text presents an easy-to-use, easy-to-understand approach involving young children's own emergence into the world of speaking and listening, reading and writing.  Teachers and student interns will quickly learn what picture books and activities to use with children, how to use them, and how children can benefit from their use.  They will learn what to expect as young children's writing emerges from scribbles to pictures and real words.  Finally, they will come to terms with the concept of emergent literacy as it appears in preschool children and evolves into conventional literacy as it is taught in elementary school.

 

Professors and students alike will also learn what the latest reading research has to say about the core skills necessary for children to learn to read, as well as advances in neuroscience that give us new understandings of the human brain and how it processes information.  All of this new material is essential for professors to present in their courses and students to understand how to apply it as they proceed into the world of working with young children.


Features

  • A brief introduction to each strategy—Discussing the literacy concept associated with the strategy and what the particular strategy teaches.
    • Sets the stage for students understanding of when, how, and with whom to use each strategy — supplies the background needed to create additional strategies to reinforce each lesson.

  • Use of materials, content, and activities found in most early childhood classrooms—Blocks, chalk, crayons, computers, cooking, dolls, dramatics, finger paints, puppets, scissors, storytelling, etc.

    • Makes the texts' strategies immediately useful for prospective teachers' first classrooms — allows these fifty ideas to serve as templates for hundreds of additional strategies.

  • Photos, children's art, and pupils' actual writing samples—Accompanying each strategy.
    • Offer a genuine picture of each strategy's desired outcome — illustrate real children's authentic literacy efforts and show actual children actively engaged in each strategy.

  • Complements the author's core Early Literacy text.
    • Provides practical strategies to supplement a core text on early literacy theory and practice.


New To This Edition

  • New arrangement of the 50 strategies (Part 1, Speaking and Listening; Part 2, Children's Writing; Part 3, Children's Reading)-Students and teachers using this spiral-bound text will find it much easier to locate the strategy they want by flipping to it in the appropriate topical selection.
  • New strategies in this edition include: conversation, bilingual speaking, recipe charts, shared writing, visual literacy, and expanded discussions of all the other strategies-These topics were deemed useful and important for those who apply the text by users of the first edition and through the author's research.
  • New children's picture books in this edition include 75 out of the 195 books described or listed-Bringing children together with books is an important and necessary feature of emergent literacy.  Children need to be excited about books and anxious to become readers.  New books, especially selected by the author to stimulate speaking and listening skills, puppetry, story reenactments, picture writing and reading, are the keys to opening the door to early reading and writing.  Students using this text need to be aware of the extraordinary new picture books available, and how to select and use them.
  • The new activities described here have been chosen as models for students' easy use, as well as to emulate in creating their own activities or encouraging children to create their own-Both teachers and student teachers are always searching for new ideas to use with young children.  This text is packed with 243 activities they will find exciting to use or to make up more of their own.
