Language, Literacy and Early Childhood Education, Fourth Edition, focuses on language and literacy development in children from birth to age eight, with a particular emphasis on four- to eight-year-olds.
It describes pedagogical practices that will allow pre-service teachers to plan for play-based learning while also employing other important approaches, such as explicit teaching, collaborative learning and learning though exploration and discovery.Based on current research and theoretical perspectives, this book uses practical strategies and activities to equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to create appropriate, child-centred pedagogies.
