Product Description

Review
'Developing Language and Literacy 3-8 is a very substantial contribution to the early years practitioner's library' - Early Years

Product Description
`This is a handsome Second Edition of a book that has remained an invaluable and comprehensive guide for practising and trainee teachers since its publication in 1996.... I hope that all practitioners who love children, language and literature will add this book to their collections of well-used professional books' - Nursery World

`This is a practical book and it will be very useful for teachers and Early Years practitioners seeking to review and update their practices in literacy teaching and learning. It will be especially useful to practitioners in England and Wales who have to implement The National Literacy Strategy and the Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage' - Penny Munn, International Journal of Early Years Education

Developing Language and Literacy 3 - 8: Second Edition is a comprehensive and practical introduction to teaching and learning English in the early years. The new edition has been fully updated to take account of the new requirements for teaching English in the early years including, the Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage, English in The National Curriculum and The National Literacy Strategy. It covers all aspects of language and literacy and draws on current thinking, research and classroom expertise in order to describe practice that is rooted in research. The book includes chapters on:

- Speaking and Listening

- Reading

- Resources for Language and Literacy

- Writing

- Spelling, Handwriting and Punctuation

- Bilingual Learners

- Language, Literacy and Gender

- Children with Difficulties

- Involving Parents and Carers

-Assessment

- Planning

Further reading and sources of information, including Websites, are given so that readers can explore aspects of English in more depth. It also includes a section on the role of the English post- holder. The book covers the English elements of the Curriculum for Initial Teacher Training, particularly those relating to pedagogical knowledge and teaching and assessment methods, and so should be of particular use and interest to trainee teachers following 3 - 8, 5 - 8 or 5 -11 courses.

First Sentence
Understanding the development of speaking and listening is of vital importance to those concerned with educating the young child, for a number of reasons: first, that the majority of young children learn to speak easily and fluently in their home language by about the age of 4 signals children's capacity to learn. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for all involved with Early Years or KS1, 16 Dec 2000
By ckc97@aol.com (Hampshire, England) - See all my reviews
I found this book very informative on implementing good language and literacy practice in the classroom. With all the changes in the curriculum, the research is up to date making it an invaluable resouce for especially the student teacher covering policy and practice with plenty of suggestions for further reading. It is focused on how the child learns and how to teach language and literacy in an interesting and successful way. There are plenty of case studies and practical examples for implementing good practice making it relevant for qualified teachers as much as students. An excellent book for all those with an interest in language and literacy in Early Years and Key Stage 1 settings.
