Synopsis

This collection of readings contains articles by Marie Clay about children and the early years of schooling. Each chapter discusses basic assumptions about literacy teaching, challenging teachers to think about:* Literacy awareness as it develops before and after the transition to school* The power of writing for children in literacy encounters* Conversation as a tool for improving teaching interactions.This book provides an invaluable centrepiece for a workshop, or the background reading for several group discussions, or an opportunity for practising teachers to bring their experience face to face with a text that challenges.
