Emergent Literacy in Early Childhood, Explore Textbook

Author: Emily Brown Hoffman, Ph.D. and Colleen E. Whittingham, Ph.D.

Emergent Literacy in Early Childhood is informed by up-to-date research on how children learn to read, write, and speak from birth through age five. The developmental stages of literacy are presented in chronological order to prepare future early childhood educators as they guide children of varying ages. Chapters 1 through 3 lay the foundation for the importance of literacy, and chapters 4 through 13 take a paired approach where each theory chapter is immediately followed by a chapter focused on methods for application. Age Group Reviews at the end of the paired chapters give students the chance to apply what they learned in real-world situations and in-depth applications. Case Studies at the end of application chapters highlight real-world examples of early childhood educators applying literacy strategies, followed by questions students can use to practice for observation.
