Literacy Development in the Early Years: Helping Children Read and Write

Rate this book
A comprehensive and balanced approach to early literacy instruction (birth - Grade 3) with a focus on integrating language arts

Literacy Development in the Early Helping Children Read and Write explores both the science and art of teaching literacy from birth through Grade 3. It presents a wealth of theory, research, practical strategies, and perspectives about how children learn literacy skills – while recognizing that literacy development is an active process between educators and their students. Renowned author Lesley Mandel Morrow utilizes her own research and experiences as well as the research of others 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 learners, and more.

Reorganized with shorter, easier-to-read chapters, the 9th Edition contains added strategies for developing literacy in writing workshops, reading workshops, independent and partner reading, organizational methods, and comprehension development. Additional assessments allow teachers to carry out a more complete case study of a child’s abilities and needs.

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.
