Product Description
Born to Learn, by Carole Rhodes and Lenore Ringler, traced your child's literacy from birth, through initial tentative baby steps, to the toddler and kindergarten years. A Leg Up: Enhancing Your Child's Reading and Writing, by the same authors, picks up the story as your child stands at the threshold of formal schooling, a baby and a pre-schooler no longer, face to face with the challenges of school-and no challenges are more daunting than reading and writing. Yet any parent can, by their own example, offer their child significant advantages,by providing the sort of rich literacy environment that can truly support a young reader's journey through emergent literacy to becoming a fully mature and fluent reader and writer. The reading you enjoy together, as well as the formal and informal uses you make of literacy in the home and family environment, will go a very long way towards ensuring the reading and writing success your child can enjoy as grade follows grade. Lenore and Carole will show you, in A Leg Up, just how this is done, by sharing their decades of experience as teachers, researchers and parents. They will give you a clear overview of each stage and every aspect of literacy, from determining the right amount of homework, to balancing the competing demands of print and other media, to reading and writing in the crucial content areas of science and social studies, to exploiting library and world-wide web resources, grappling successfully with reading problems as they arise, selecting the right school and locating the best print and software to enhance your child's learning. ...

Product Description

Teachers and prospective teachers read children's books, but that reading is often done as a "teacher" – that is, as planning for instruction – rather than as a "reader" engaged with the text. Children’s Books for Grown-Up Teachers models the kind of thinking about teaching and learning – the sort of curriculum theorizing – accomplished through teachers’ interactions with the everyday materials of teaching. It starts with children’s books, branches out into other youth culture texts, and subsequently to thinking about everyday life itself. Texts of curriculum theory describe infrastructures that support the crafts of inquiry and learning, and introduce a new vocabulary of poaching, weirding, dark matter, and jazz. At the heart of this book is a method of reading; Each reader pulls idiosyncratic concepts from children’s books and from everyday life. Weaving these concepts into a discourse of curriculum theory is what makes the difference between "going through the motions of teaching" and "designing educational experiences.

This book was awarded the 2009 AERA Division B (Curriculum Studies) Outstanding Book Award.
