Education

For Literacy in Early Childhood and Literacy in the Elementary School courses.

With an emphasis on the many uses of assessment data, this text offers prospective teachers a unique new approach to using various assessments to inform their literacy instruction at every level. Through examples and discussion, readers are shown how to scaffold literacy instruction for emergent, early, and fluent readers, based on information they have gathered about pupils' learning. A solid research base and strong treatment of underlying theory support dozens of practical, accessible strategies that are clearly aligned with performance-based assessments. In addition, the authors' clear, pragmatic style makes the material easily understandable to undergraduates, graduates and classroom teachers.

• A three-chapter section on oral language—Exploring its development in emergent, early, and fluent readers.

  • Aligns this important component of language across all literacy levels—shows future teachers how to incorporate this instruction into a variety of literacy lessons, units, and programs.

• Vignettes of authentic classroom instructional situations—At the start of each chapter.

  • Illustrate text-sanctioned scaffolded instruction “as it happens”—gives students a realistic portrait of how strategies presented in the text can be implemented in real classrooms with real learners.

• Alignment of performance-based assessments and corresponding instructional strategies with national standards—In all chapters.

  • Facilitates prospective teachers' understanding of the “Leave No Child Behind” initiative and its implications—prepares them for the expectations of colleagues, parents, and school boards.

• Coverage of technology as it relates to literacy teaching and learning—Embedded in every chapter.

  • Familiarizes future teachers with technological advances that can augment literacy instruction—provides ideas for using today's technology.

• Extensive end-of-chapter pedagogy—Discussion Questions and Activities, Additional Readings, Web Sites to Explore, Additional Children's Literature, References, and Children's Literature References in every chapter.

  • Provides opportunities for students to interact with chapter content, points the way to additional helpful information, and offers sources of relevant, reliable information for term papers, in-class discussions, and assignments.
