"Handbook On The Science Of Early Literacy

Synthesizing the best current knowledge about early literacy this comprehensive handbook brings together leading researchers from multiple disciplines. The volume identifies the instructional methods and areas of focus shown to be most effective for promoting young children's (Pre K-2) growth in reading writing oral language and the connections among them. In 33 chapters the Handbook covers conceptual foundations; development and instruction of both code- and meaning-related literacy skills; professional development and family engagement; supporting equity across populations; and learning beyond traditional boundaries including digital and out-of-school contexts. Highlighted throughout are issues around access to high-quality instruction working with multilingual populations and data-based decision making and interventions. |Handbook on the Science of Early Literacy
