Book Description

Publication Date: May 11, 2004 | ISBN-10: 0205392563 | ISBN-13: 978-0205392568 | Edition: 5

Within an integrated language arts approach, this book emphasizes both constructivist and explicit strategies for teaching literacy to young children within an integrated language arts approach. With a thought-provoking and rich presentation, renowned author, Lesley Morrow explores literacy development as an active process between children and adults to create meaning and real purpose. The Fifth Edition presents a theoretical and research-based rationale for its contents, as well as practical applications to help students grasp the scope and the complexity of early literacy development. This Fifth Edition embraces integrated language arts and an interdisciplinary approach to literacy development as it addresses developing writing, reading, and oral language in the home and school curriculum. The use of expository and narrative selections of children's literature is emphasized, as well as motivating children to be lifelong readers. This edition spends more time with strategies for preschool literacy and skill development in grades K through 3. Both constructivist, problem-solving teaching techniques and more explicit systematic instruction are discussed. Finally, a new, vibrant two-color design and size make the book accessible, convenient, and easy-to read.
