The Fifth Edition of Literacy's Beginnings offers an integrated approach to reading and writing instruction keyed to the five typical developmental stages through which most children pass (the IRA/NAEYC phases of  literacy).  McGee and Richgels have set the standard in this new edition by clearly and simply explaining the issues addressed in Reading First and Early Reading First legislation that affect the reading instruction of young children. Aligned with the findings of the National Reading Panel, this edition focuses on child-centered instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding, comprehension, and interpretation. Without question, this will be the most talked about resource for prospective teachers of children from birth to age eight.

Going to Kindergarten: A Year With An Outstanding Teacher

<p>Kindergarten is a unique year, a special opportunity in the lives of our children. However, in the last 20 years, the typical kindergarten curriculum has become more teacher-centered and it emphasizes kindergartners' academic development, sometimes at the neglect of their social and emotional development. This book presents a unique view of good teaching and learning in kindergarten so those children can thrive in its presence. The author, a teacher educator, shares his observations, often in the words of the teacher, Mrs. Poremba, and her students based on one year he spent in her classroom. Each of the ten chapters contains verbatim dialogue and rich description spanning from the first day of kindergarten to the last day of the school year. For anyone involved in decision making about early childhood education.</p>
