Emergent Literacy in Early Childhood

Synopsis

Emergent Literacy in Early Childhood is informed by up-to-date research on how children learn to read, write, and speak from birth through age five. The developmental stages of literacy are presented in chronological order to prepare future educators as they guide children. Featuring colorful graphics and flow charts, this text is structured to integrate theory with hands-on practice, with authentic vignettes, case studies, example lesson plans, and practice activities that empower readers to visualize how theory is implemented. Chapters 1-3 lay the foundation for the importance of literacy, and chapters 4-13 take a paired approach where each theory chapter is followed by a chapter on methods for application. Age Group Reviews provide students with real-world situations and in-depth applications. Setting the Scene shows emergent literacy in action. Integrating Technology offers scenarios of how a child is likely to interact with technology at a very early age. Inclusive Classroom offers resources to guide future educators to consider all students, families, and communities. Positionality challenges students to face their own potential biases and offers ways to be inclusive of all students and families. Let's Read! suggests diverse books to incorporate into classroom libraries to represent all students. Family Connections give students ideas for incorporating families into a program in a sensitive, community-based way.
