Beginning Literacy With Language Young Children Learning at Home and School

In this fascinating book, you'll travel into the homes and schools of over 70 young children from diverse backgrounds and observe parent--child and teacher-child interactions. Through research gathered in the Home--School Study of Language and Literacy Development, the authors share with you the relationship they've found between these critical, early interactions and children's kindergarten language and literacy skills. In each chapter, you'll read actual transcripts of parent-child and teacher-child interactions, recognize how these interactions relate to later development, and get suggestions for supporting children's language and literacy development.Dickinson, David K. is the author of 'Beginning Literacy With Language Young Children Learning at Home and School', published 2001 under ISBN 9781557664792 and ISBN 155766479X.
