Children, Language and Literacy: Diverse Learners in
Diverse Times. Celia Genishi & Anne Hass Dyson, $39.50
Children, Language and Literacy celebrates the
genius of young children as they learn language and literacy in our diverse
times. Despite burgeoning socio=cultural diversity, many early childhood
classrooms (pre-K to grade 2) offer a one-size-fits-all curriculum in which
learning is too often assessed by standardized tests. In contrast, Genishi and
Dyson proclaim diversity as the new norm. They feature stories of children
whose language learning is impossible to standardize and teachers who do not
follow scripts. These master teachers observe, informally assess, respond to,
and grow with their students — some of whom are rapid language learners, and
some of whom become speakers, readers, and writers at “child speed.” Much of
this learning, regardless of tempo, is found within the language-rich contexts
of play.
Chapters focus on children’s ways of communicating
through varied modes, including the use of nonverbal expression; language variants;
and multiple media. Throughout the text there is a resistance to labels such as
“at risk” and a much-needed advocacy for child-sensible practices in a world
where diversity is indeed the “new norm.” |

Language: Connecting Reading, Writing and Talk.
Judith Wells Lindfors, $40.50

Lindfors traces children’s emergent literacy from infancy
through the early school years and describes a set of language
principles that teachers can build on as they help young students
learn to read and write using the oral language processes they
already know. |
