Summary
The unique focus of this text integrates a constructivist/emergent literacy perspective with #x1C;science-based#x1D; instructional practices that have proved successful in supporting children#x19;s reading, writing, and speaking development. Teaching Language and Literacy: Preschool Th rough the Elementary Gradesbegins with a brief overview of the recent key national policies and initiatives that have had a significant impact on the teaching of reading and writing at the preschool level. Renowned and respected authors, Christie, Enz, and Vukelich, describe a continuum of approaches to reading instruction, ranging from emergent literacy to Scientifically-Based Reading Research. They also present their vision of a #x1C;blended#x1D; approach to teaching literacy that includes the best elements of these diverging views as well as a set of principles to guide the effective teaching of literacy in preschool and elementary classrooms.
