Quatrième de couverture :

Now in its sixth edition, Literacy Development in the Early Years emphasizes both constructivist and explicit strategies for teaching literacy to young children within an integrated language arts approach.

Renowned author Lesley Morrow explores literacy development as an active process between children and adults to create meaning and purpose.
