- Summary:
-
"Literacy in early childhood and primary education provides a comprehensive introduction to literacy teaching and learning. The book explores the continuum of literacy learning andc children's transitions from early childhood settings to junior primary classrooms, and then to senior primary and beyond. Reader-friendly and accessible, this book equips pre-service teachers with the theoretical underpinnings and practical strategies and skills needed to teach literacy. It places the 'reading wars' firmly in the past as it examines contemporary research and practices. The book covers important topics such as literacy acquisition, family literacies and multiliteracies, foundation skills for literacy learning, reading difficulties, assessment, and supporting diverse literacy learners in early childhood and primary classrooms. It also addresses the challenges that teachers may face in the classroom and provides solutions to these."--Back page.
