Synopsis

The foundation for success in learning to read and write begins in infancyAs early childhood professionals, we have both the opportunity and the privilege to shape the progress young children make in acquiring the literacy skills, oral language skills, and background knowledge vital to their later success in learning to read and write. By engaging infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in experiences that foster oral language and content knowledge, literacy skills, and cognitive ability, we build a foundation for children’s later academic success.Promoting children’s desire to read and write is as important as helping children develop the necessary understandings and skills essential for learning how to read and write. Without motivation, children will read and write relatively little and only what and when they must. This book addresses four main points:1. What children need to learn in these early years2. The strategies that teachers can use to help children acquire these foundations3. The features of emergent literacy and language understandings and skills4. How to design the physical environment in early childhood classrooms to support language and literacy learningThis book will help early childhood professionals and families support young children in acquiring the understandings, knowledge, and skills needed for later success in learning to read and write.

If asked when children learn to read and write, the average person would probably say, “in first grade.” Although this is indeed true for most children, success in first grade relies on more than just the instruction provided then; it also depends heavily on the knowledge and skills acquired long before. In fact, the experiences that build a foundation for learning to read and write have a history stretching all the way back to infancy.Children who struggle in learning to read often enter first grade without the foundational knowledge they need. This situation is not easily overcome. Only about 25 percent of children who struggle in learning to read in first grade ever read within the typical range for their grade level! The other children in this group continue to experience major reading difficulties throughout all of their years of schooling (Juel 1988; Spira, Bracken, & Fischel 2005).
