This book is about young children and their writing and reading development during their first few years of life. It stops at the point where most books on beginning writing and reading start: when the child is 5-6 years old and is able to write and read in ways recognized as actually being writing and reading. The chapters are authored by many of the leading researchers of written language development in very young children.
This concise, accessible book explores the connection between language acquisition and emergent literacy skills, and how this sets the stage for later literacy development.
