Table of Contents

About the Authors Introduction and How to Use this Book Introduction to the purposes and structure of the book including an introduction to the eight core Practices for early childhood educators: Knowing, Showing, Designing, Including, Engaging, Explaining, Observing, and Responding. Chapter 1: Clever Communicators  Both language and conceptual knowledge are critical for understanding texts and for learning about the world. In Chapter 1, early childhood educators learn to support young children in building knowledge, and in developing language, including vocabulary, to talk about the concepts they learn and texts that are read.  Chapter 2: Print Navigators  As children interact with different types of written text, they learn about how print is used to convey meaning. In Chapter 2, early childhood educators learn to support these understandings by encouraging children to engage with literacy materials in meaningful ways. Chapter 3: Sound–Letter Linkers  The understanding that oral language can be broken into smaller sounds is a critical building block for literacy development. In Chapter 3, early childhood educators learn to use games and activities that encourage children to play with sounds in words. Chapter 4: Resourceful Writers  In the early childhood years, children can begin to represent their ideas using pictures, symbols, and eventually with letters. In Chapter 5, early childhood educators learn to encourage and support children's attempts to share their ideas through writing.  Chapter 5: Text Comprehenders  Young children can understand, enjoy, learn from, and apply ideas from texts and images. In Chapter 6, early childhood teachers learn to engage children in read alouds and other interactions with written text that facilitate language development and higher-order discussion.  Index 

Review

Too often, educators are simply told they need to teach early literacy without being provided with support for how to engage young children in meaningful and developmentally appropriate learning experiences. This book is filled with evidence-based and easy-to-implement teaching practices that educators can put into practice immediately. The emphasis on the power of intentional environments and interactions as the pathway to supporting literacy learning for young children is aligned with everything we know about what's important for our youngest learners. —Bridget K. Hamre, Research Associate Professor, University of Virginia, and CEO and Cofounder, Teachstone  This is simply the best book on early language and literacy in the marketplace. It not only elucidates research and key practices in a highly informative, jargon-free way, it brings these practices to life in engaging vignettes that make them all the more real to readers. —Susan B. Neuman, Professor of Childhood Education and Literacy Development, Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, New York University  If you're thirsty for more about the science of early literacy instruction, read this brilliant book. The children you teach will benefit richly from what you learn. Parents should read it too! —Ronald F. Ferguson, Founder and President, The Basics, Inc., and Faculty Director, Achievement Gap Initiative at Harvard University  Children's media creators can greatly impact how children learn, but understanding how to create effective educational content can be challenging. Literacy Learning for Infants, Toddlers, and Preschoolers provides clear, concise examples of real-world learning that can easily be implemented in storytelling for children's television and digital games.  —Olubunmi Mia Olufemi, Supervising Producer, Children's Television  The construction of this book is early educator friendly and provides a set of comprehensive tools and resources to aid in the complexities of teaching unique learners along their continuum of early literacy development. By following the provided key practices as guideposts for language acquisition, print recognition, vocabulary expansion, and reading and writing text, educators can more readily adjust their own instructional practice using the provided cues and tips. —Denise Smith, Implementation Director, Hope Starts Here – Detroit's Early Childhood Partnership

Long Description

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! Young children's early language and literacy knowledge and skills build a critical foundation for their later success in reading and writing (National Early Literacy Panel, 2008). But children's literacy development from birth to 5 does not look like conventional reading and writing. Early childhood educators need different practices to support early literacy than educators who serve older children. 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.
