Scribble Scrabble--Learning to Read and Write Success With Diverse Teachers, Children, and Families

Drawing on current research and his own teaching, Daniel Meier presents detailed and sensitive portraits of children learning to make sense of literacy during the crucial early childhood years. Included are conversations with children, parents, and teachers about how they view literacy: why it is important, where it comes from, and what it encompasses. What emerges is a rich affirmation of the important role that these beliefs and values play in literacy learning. Highly readable, Scribble Scrabbleoffers a cogent and timely discussion of ways to unite developmentally appropriate and culturally responsive literacy practices. Anyone concerned about developing the literary talents of young children will find this volume immensely satisfying.Meier, Daniel is the author of 'Scribble Scrabble--Learning to Read and Write Success With Diverse Teachers, Children, and Families', published 2000 under ISBN 9780807738825 and ISBN 0807738824.
