An integrated language arts approach to
literacy development, by renowned author Lesley Mandel Morrow,
Literacy Development in the Early Years, 8/e integrates
perspectives about how children learn literacy skills in grades
pre-K through three that gives pre-service and in-service teachers
a wealth of valuable information for making children active
participants in the process of literacy development.

Now in print for 25 years, this widely
popular text was one of the first books on the topic of early
literacy. Author Lesley Mandel Morrow utilizes her own research and
the research of others as well as her experiences as a classroom
teacher, reading specialist, mother, and grandmother to consider
historical theories and philosophies about how children learn,
policy changes in teaching reading, new laws and challenges in the
area of testing and assessment, the place of diversity in
today’s classrooms, teaching English language learners, and
more. The text has a wealth of valuable information for both pre-
and in-service teachers, prompting them to involve children as
active participants in the process of their literacy development.
The book discusses constructivist problem-solving teaching and more
explicit systematic instruction, encouraging teaching reading,
writing, listening, thinking, and viewing at the same time while
using each skill to develop the others.

Biased, inaccurate at times. Was it even edited? There's an entire repeated paragraph at the beginning of chapter four. Bad textbooks are my college pet peeve. Seriously, I had to pay so much for this book and it sucks. Learned all of this in my community college child development class through like three PowerPoints and they at least were edited well. Also all the photos are blurry. And the "anecdotes" drove me nuts and made me roll my eyes so many times. I drew sad faces and eyes rolling with my highlighter while reading. Boo.
