This volume discusses the literacy of children in the infant years. The first section is concerned with talk, the second with writing, and the third with reading. The book features examples of children's speech, transcribed at home and at school, and also examples of writing, including stories, poems and a nine-month correspondence between six children at an infant school and the author. It addresses issues such as spelling and other mechanics, the writing corner, and the children talking and writing about moral matters.
Thinking About Literacy discusses the literacy of children in the infant years. The author takes the view that the child is an active learner when he/she arrives in school, and that it is the school's job to build on what the child already knows. The book addresses issues such as spelling, writing, and children talking and writing about moral matters. It has an optimistic view of the potential of children to surprise us with their language and emphasises that literacy is for life, not just for an hour.
