Book excerpt: This book is all about teaching the language arts--facilitating children's reading, writing, speaking, and listening development in pre-K through grade 5. It gives readers an authoritative look at how children acquire language and literacy in a variety of contexts, and how teachers can effectively promote oral and written language growth. This unique focus integrates a constructivist/emergent literacy perspective with "science-based" instructional practices proven successful in supporting children's reading, writing, and speaking development.--Publisher's website.
