Facilitating Preschool Literacy - Softcover
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.

From the Back Cover:
"Facilitating Preschool Literacy" addresses three important themes in the literacy learning of preschool children: 1. Children are active constructors of their own learning. 2. Families provide invaluable support in the early literacy learning of children. 3. Preschool settings should reflect the literacy learning that occurs in many homes and should provide opportunities for children to further develop their literacy.
