Aligned with the findings of the National Reading Panel, this edition's emphasis focuses on child-centered instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding, comprehension, and interpretation. Without a question, this text will be the most talked about resource for prospective teachers of children from birth to age eight. New To This Edition Thoroughly describes ways to organize an environment to stimulate the growth of language, both written and oral, making this text an invaluable resource for prospective teachers. Emphasizes child- centered instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding, comprehension, and interpretation, giving special attention to instruction in phonological and phonemic awareness embedded in a literature- based program. Highlights the unique opportunities for literacy development aided by computers. Continues to provide examples of scoring rubrics and children's work samples. Provides application activities for the working classroom in " Beyond the Text" sections at the end of each chapter. Presents young children's reading and writing from birth to age eight through numerous vignettes. Examines children's learning in social settings, including home, preschool, and school.
