Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Storybook Journey: Pathways to Learning through Story and Play" is based on a solid understanding of how children develop. It is intended to inspire practices that support and enhance the growth of each individual child within the context of the group through children's stories. The suggested starting place in the journey is selection and discussion of a story from children's literature (its main ideas, concepts, significant aspects, appeal, and special meaning to individual children) and a brainstorming of ideas that will link facets of the story to the lives of the children. Teachers link the experiences in the classroom around the story concepts, careful observation of the children, and the gathering of necessary props and materials for the facilitation of the journey. The connections to the child's home, community and classroom play a critical role. Some children, such as those with autism, may create an inner world around a struggle or a story of struggle. Through the stories they choose, we may hear or see a glimpse into their world and learn how to move closer to support them. The emotional stability nurtured by caring adults in their lives allows children the freedom and energy they deserve to be able to concentrate, engage, learn, follow through and enjoy the world that is out there for them to explore. When families are a part of the Storybook Journey process, children experience the enriching and vital daily life extensions of the stories beyond the classroom. The Storybook Journey is neither a unit plan detached from the lives of children, nor a series of recipes developed by adults. Its uniqueness lies in its intention to give teachers enough content and inspiration that their own creativity and enjoyment of the Storybook Journey process will carry them, the children, and the children's families to new and interesting avenues of learning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sociocultural Contexts of Language and Literacy, Second Edition engages prospective and in-service teachers in learning about linguistically and culturally diverse students, and in using this knowledge to enrich literacy learning in classrooms and communities. The text is grounded in current research and theory that integrate sociocultural and constructivist concepts and perspectives and provide a framework teachers can use to develop strategies for teaching reading, writing, and thinking to diverse students. The focus on English literacy development does not imply advocacy for "English only" or ESL as the primary mode of literacy instruction. Rather, the authors take the position that learners need to develop literacy in their native language and that the concepts and skills learned in developing the native language create a foundation of strength from which students can develop English literacy. Part I introduces relevant research and language learning theories. Part II provides research reviews and information about literacy learning within specific culturally and linguistically diverse communities. The chapters in Part III challenge the reader to view the multiple social, intellectual, cultural, and language differences children bring to the classroom as an opportunity for learning and building on the diversity among students. Activities and suggested readings at the end of each chapter involve readers in reflection, observation, meaning making, and the construction of application processes for their new understandings. New in the Second Edition: *updated research and theory on multilingual and second language literacy; *a focus on the interpretation of these research findings to make them useful for teachers and teacher educators in understanding and articulating the research bases for literacy practices; *attention to current intensely debated issues, such as standards, the phonics movement, and high-stakes testing; and *new activities and suggested readings.
