John Wiley & Sons Inc Early Reading Development and Dyslexia
Book SynopsisEarly Reading Development and Dyslexia focuses on how children learn to read and on the difficulties some children have in acquiring this important skill. It concentrates specifically on the very beginning stages of reading development - that is, in the 4-7 year age group. This book begins by considering current ideas about how young children begin to acquire reading skills, and draws particularly on research that focuses on the language abilities that they need to have in place in order to facilitate early reading. The link between phonological abilities and the acquisition of letter knowledge is especially strongly highlighted, but attention is also paid to other reading-related language skills and to the role that parents and teachers play in promoting good early reading development. Later chapters focus on the importance of early identification of reading problems through screening and assessment procedures. Effective teaching of beginning reading skills within the classroom is discussed, prior to a review of current specialist teaching methods designed to improve reading progress in early-diagnosed young dyslexic children.Table of ContentsPreface. Introduction. Phonology. Reading and Alphabetic Principle. Reading, Verbal Memory and Naming Skills. Phonological Difficulties and reading Failure. A Case Study. Risk Factors. Protective Influences and compensatory Strategies. Phonological Deficits in Dyslexia. Children at Risk of Dyslexia. Screening for Early Reading Failure. Preventing Reading Failure.

Book SynopsisZiel der vorliegenden Studie ist es, im Rahmen der Institution Schule Möglichkeiten literarischer Bildung zu eruieren. Die Studie geht dabei schonungslos mit ihren eigenen Voraussetzungen um, entlarvt den Wunsch der Autorin nach eben diesen bildenden Momenten im Literaturunterricht. Gerade die empirisch evidente Verhinderung von Bildung im Literaturunterricht wird am Ende zum Horizont, vor dem sich literarische Bildung als Möglichkeit, als Nische, abzeichnet. Das Besondere aber jenseits dieser Möglichkeit ist der sezierende Blick, mit dem die Paradoxien der sozialen Praxis „Literaturunterricht“ freigelegt werden. Eine wesentliche, nicht zu überschätzende Leistung für die literaturdidaktische Forschung besteht im Wechsel der Beobachtungsform und der dadurch bedingten alternativen Gegenstandskonstitution von Text, Subjekt und Lektüre. Diese Verschiebung des Blickwinkels fordert den momentan dominierenden Kompetenzdiskurs mit seinem essentialistischen Text- und Lektürekonzept zur Selbstreflexion heraus.Table of ContentsLiterarische Bildung? – Theoretische Einsätze und Konturierung des Forschungsinteresses.- Bildende Möglichkeiten in der Praxis des Literaturunterrichts? – Fragestellung, Methodologie und Anlage der empirischen Studie.- Was passiert hier eigentlich? Und wo sind die Möglichkeiten? – Ergebnisse der Interviewstudie zum Literaturunterricht.

Taylor & Francis Creativity and Writing
Book SynopsisThis clear yet authoritative book affirms the vital role of creativity in writing and considers and encourages flexible, innovative practices in teaching. Importantly, the book reflects upon teachers' imaginative and artistic involvement in the writing process as role models, collaborators, artists, and as writers themselves.Arguing that children's creative use of language is key to the development of language and literacy skills, this book focuses on the composition process and how children can express their own ideas. In addition, the authors consider the many forms of creative language that influence the inner and outer voice of children, including reading, investigating, talking and engaging in a range of inspiring activities.Illustrated throughout with many examples of children's writing and drawing, this book also provides suggestions for classroom activities and is a source of inspiration and practical guidance for any teacher looking to deepen their understandiTrade ReviewThe authors are very close to the needs and aspirations of teachers, so that the tone of this book is accessible as well as stimulating. It will make as important, well-timed contribution to language and literacy in education. - "Eve Bearne, University of Cambridge"Table of ContentsIntroduction: Looking Back to Travel Forward 1.

Book SynopsisWrite Out of the Classroom is a ground-breaking, highly practical book which provides teachers and creative writing tutors with great ways of tapping into the huge inspirational and educational potential of the richly diverse world beyond the classroom walls.Effective learning occurs when the process feels exciting, inspiring and real', and there is nothing more stimulating and real' than the real world itself.
