Focusing on
the not-yet-conventional ways in which young children write and
read--their nature, contexts, and significance for continuing literacy
development, this book presents the perspective that children's
early reading and writing behaviors are not pre- anything, but are
integral parts of an incipient language process. Following an introduction
to emergent literacy by the editors, the chapters and authors are,
as follows: (1) "Children Coming to Know Literacy" (Yetta
M. Goodman); (2) "The Interplay between Information and Assimilation
in Beginning Literacy" (Emilia Ferreiro); (3) "Writing
and Reading: Signs of Oral and Written Language Organization in
the Young Child" (Elizabeth Sulzby); (4)"Intervention
Procedures for Increasing Preschool Children's Interest in and Knowledge
about Reading" (Christine E. McCormick and Jana M. Mason);
(5) "The Contracts of Literacy: What Children Learn from Learning
to Read Books" (Catherine E. Snow and Anat Ninio); (6) "Creating
Family Story: 'Matthew! We're Going to Have a Ride!" (Denny
Taylor); (7) Separating 'Things of the Imagination' from Life: Learning
to Read and Write" (Shirley Brice Heath); and (8) "Home
Background and Young Children's Literacy Development" (William
H. Teale). (NKA)
