Description
The unique focus of this text integrates a constructivist/emergent literacy perspective with "science-based" instructional practices that have proved successful in supporting children's reading, writing, and speaking development. "Teaching Language and Literacy: Preschool Through the Elementary Grades "begins with a brief overview of the recent key national policies and initiatives that have had a significant impact on the teaching of reading and writing at the preschool level. Renowned and respected authors, Christie, Enz, and Vukelich, describe a continuum of approaches to reading instruction, ranging from emergent literacy to Scientifically-Based Reading Research. They also present their vision of a "blended" approach to teaching literacy that includes the best elements of these diverging views as well as a set of principles to guide the effective teaching of literacy in preschool and elementary classrooms. New to this Edition NEW! Increased coverage on oral language with a new section on preschool and kindergarten vocabulary instruction and a new chapter on teaching vocabulary at the elementary grade levels help students learn many new strategies for building children's knowledge of word meanings--a key foundation for reading comprehension. NEW! Special features at the end of most chapters discuss strategies for adapting instruction for ELL students, approaches for teaching literacy to children with special needs, and tips on promoting family literacy. NEW! Increased emphasis on direct teaching of phonics, fluency, and comprehension strategies prepares students for the heavy emphasis that these skills receive in the elementary grades. NEW! In-depth coverage of new federal and state literacy initiatives and expanded coverage of standardized literacy assessments prepares teachers for the new emphasis on skills and testing in today's schools.
