An integrated approach to literacy, meshing theory and practice, is presented in this text for education students. Emphasis is on reading aloud to children, shared reading and writing experiences, guided and independent reading and writing, and large- and small-group activities. Three chapters are devoted to developing phonological awareness, developing a strong phonics base, and integrating phonics and structure. A sample unit of study for a second-grade class is included. Appendices offer an overview of elements and titles from children's literature, sample word lists and word sorts, and pictures for sorting activities. Features new to this second edition include chapter vignettes from real classrooms, classroom dialogues, and coverage of assessment and diversity integrated throughout the text.
