Facilitating Preschool Literacy

by International Reading Association

The contributors to this volume--representing Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and including both university educators and preschool teachers--present ways to provide for, support, and guide children as they gain a greater understanding of reading and writing. The book considers the notion of children constructing literacy, looks at literacy in the context of the home and family, and looks more directly at literacy learning in preschool settings. The chapters discuss the role of parents and caregivers in supporting a child's literacy development, then explain how the preschool educator can build on and continue to link with the home literacy provision.
