Book Description
This resource will help K–2 teachers revitalize and restructure their classroom literacy instruction based on Marie Clay’s groundbreaking and transformative literacy processing theory. Clay’s theories have created literacy success for more than 2 million struggling first-grade readers in the United States and internationally through the Reading Recovery program. This practical volume gives primary grade teachers specific suggestions for using these principles and includes rich, robust instructional examples to ensure that all children meet new and rigorous standards in all facets of literacy learning. Replete with explicit depictions of classroom practice, the book addresses the following critical aspects of K–2 literacy instruction: Teaching foundational skills in brief skills lessons and as children learn strategic activity to read and write text.Teaching for children’s fast progress in increasingly complex literacy tasks.Understanding the role of complex, frustration, instructional, familiar, and easy texts in reading instruction.Teaching for knowledge building, comprehension, and writing for narrative and informational text. Reader friendly chapters include: Focus questions to target readers’ anticipation of topics discussed.Illustrative examples of powerful teacher-student interaction.Connections between Clay’s comprehensive theory of children’s literacy development, literacy standards, and children’s fast progress to literacy proficiency. “The combination of Marie Clay’s research and theory with the authors' understanding of these principles in today’s classroom is what sets this book apart.” —Lisa Lenhart, director, Center for Literacy Curricular & Instructional Studies, The University of Akron “Gibson and Moss provide a resource for classroom teachers to support the continued learning of all their students, especially those who need an aware and skilled teacher to keep them on track across the primary grades.” —Robert M. Schwartz, professor, Oakland University, and trainer of teacher leaders, Reading Recovery Center for Michigan “This comprehensive and well-designed book will be an excellent professional development resource for classroom teachers, Reading Recovery teachers, literacy coaches/specialists, and site administrators.” —Kathleen Brown, Reading Recovery teacher leader, Long Beach Unified School District, CA “I am eager to use this book with my colleagues as we work to transform early literacy learning in our primary classrooms.” —Terry MacIntyre, Reading Recovery teacher leader, Boulder Valley School District, CO

The Department for Children, Schools and Families and the Children's Plan
Author: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Children, Schools and Families Committee

Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
This second report, entitled "The Department for Children, Schools and Families and the Children's Plan", (HCP 213, session 2007-08, ISBN 9780215514691) from the Children, Schools and Families Committee examines the creation of the new Department for Children, Schools and Families. The Department has sole responsibility for early years education and the schooling of children between 5 and 13, but in other areas, such as education for 14-19 year olds, it operates jointly with other Government departments, in partcular the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills. The Committee welcomes the Departmental focus on children, but expresses some reservations in regard of joint responsibility which it sees as leading to a lack of clarity in regard of responsibility and a dilution in decision making. The Committee believes clarity on which Department has specific responsibility is important, particularly with the introduction of the new Diploma system for 14-19 year olds. Also the Departments' Children's Plan does not at present have a timetable of action or a clear set of priorities and that the Department needs to be explicit on how it intends to drive improvements in services for children and familes. In total the Committee has set out 14 conclusions and recommendations covering: the new Department; the Children's Plan; Public Service Agreements; schools' funding; efficiency and productivity.

Reading in the Digital Age: Young Children’s Experiences with E-books
Author: Ji Eun Kim
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030200779
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
This edited book focuses on affordances and limitations of e-books for early language and literacy, features and design of e-books for early language and literacy, print versus e-books in early language and literacy development, and uses of and guidelines for how to use e-books in school and home literacy practices. Uniquely, this book includes critical reviews of diverse aspects of e-books (e.g., features) and e-book uses (e.g., independent reading) for early literacy as well as multiple examinations of e-books in home and school contexts using a variety of research methods and/or theoretical frames. The studies of children’s engagement with diverse types of e-books in different social contexts provide readers with a contemporary and comprehensive understanding of this topic. Research has demonstrated that ever-increasing numbers of children use digital devices as part of their daily routine. Yet, despite children’s frequent use of e-books from an early age, there is a limited understanding regarding how those e-books are actually being used at home and school. As more e-books become available, it is important to examine the educational benefits and limitations of different types of e-books for children. So far, studies on the topic have presented inconsistent findings regarding potential benefits and limitations of e-books for early literacy activities (e.g., independent reading, shared reading). The studies in this book aim to fill such gaps in the literature.
