Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on her award-winning research (featured in Playing Their Way into Literacies) which emphasizes that play is an early literacy, Wohlwend has developed a curricular framework for children ages 3 to 8. The Literacy Playshop curriculum engages children in creating their own multimedia productions, positioning them as media makers rather than passive recipients of media messages. The goal is to teach young children to critically interpret the daily messages they receive in popular entertainment that increasingly blur toys, stories, and advertising. The first half of this practical resource features case studies that show how six early childhood teachers working together in teacher study groups developed and implemented play-based literacy learning and media production. The second half of the book provides a Literacy Playshop framework with professional development and classroom activities, discussion questions, and technology try-it sections. This user-friendly book will inspire and support teachers in designing their own Literacy Playshops.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text provides a comprehensive understanding of the foundational literacy knowledge, skills, behaviors, and attitudes necessary to guide emerging readers and writers in early childhood. Centered on the critical question of why some children learn to read easily, while others do not, this text walks readers through developmentally appropriate goal setting based on the foundational literacy skills that are critical for preschool and kindergarten children to develop. Written in an authoritative yet accessible style, chapters offer instructional strategies, insights, and scenarios from educators, self-reflection, and a variety of methods for implementation. Each chapter also includes differentiation for children with language and learning challenges as well as dual language learners, exploring methods for valuing the home language while building critical literacy skills in the classroom. Providing critical skills for guiding all emerging readers to an independent reading level, this is an essential resource for both students in early childhood, literacy, and special education courses and educators in early childhood public education, non-profit preschool settings such as Head Start, home and daycare settings, and private and corporate care and education centers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literacy learning begins at birth and continues throughout our lives. From infants' curiosity for touching books to preschool children's growing understanding that spoken words are represented by text on a page, young children are little literacy learners! The goal of this book is to help educators support young children's literacy learning in ways that make sense for their age and stage of development through learning opportunities for young children that build the foundation for reading and writing. It focuses specifically on the ways that early childhood educators can help to foster young children's literacy development. The authors explain the latest research on supporting early literacy for infants, toddlers, and preschool children and how early childhood educators can implement these practices with young children. The authors discuss five important areas for young children's language and literacy development and highlight ten core practices of early childhood educators that support these five areas. The practices represent important ways that early childhood educators can ensure that they are supporting our little literacy learners. Five Important Areas of Language and Literacy Development 1. Language and conceptual knowledge 2. Print concepts 3. Phonological awareness 4. Writing development 5. Listening comprehension and viewing comprehension Ten Core Practices for Early Childhood Educators 1. Knowing. The authors build professional knowledge, such as why the letter W is so tough for young children or how children's writing develop over time. 2. Designing. Offers examples of how early childhood educators can design learning opportunities to foster children's literacy development. 3. Inviting & engaging. Suggested strategies for inviting and engaging children, such as materials to include in the classroom environment and techniques for maintaining children's attention during read aloud. 4. Including. Discusses ways we can include children, whether by selecting texts for read alouds that reflect children's cultural backgrounds or building on children's interests when designing literacy-enriched dramatic play centers. 5. Explaining. Provides guidance about when and how to explain ideas to children, offering sample teacher language for readers to consider. 6. Showing. Illustrates how to model specific practices for children, from modeling for infants and toddlers how to handle a book to modeling for preschoolers how to compose text. 7. Playing. Discussions on how to use the power of play to support the aspect of literacy development featured in that chapter. 8. Transitioning. Discussions on how to use literacy activities to support transitions and how to use transition times to support literacy development. 9. Observing. Suggested foci for observation as well as informal assessment tools that can be used in that area. 10. Responding. Identifies specific ways to respond to children's interactions with print, such as the extension and elaboration of oral language and the scaffolded writing technique for supporting children in rendering what they want to say in print.
