Synopsis
Language is central to children’s development on all fronts. Research confirms that a rich language environment in the early years is key to children’s success in many areas. Yet many children lack such language learning opportunities, unless they find them in their early childhood program. The engaging, research-based articles in this book describe powerful ways to promote oral language throughout the early childhood curriculum. Includes a list of top resources in the area and carefully designed questions and activities to aid students and other readers in reflecting on the articles.

One of the notable features of this compilation is that it helps us think about promoting children’s language and literacy skills early—during the infant and toddler years. This is well justified. Numerous studies suggest that the quality of language experiences in the earliest years of life affects children’s later language development (e.g., Hart & Risley 1995; Hadley et al. 2011). The content in this collection continues through the second and third grade years. Such focus is critical, as children’s language and literacy skills in these grades predict later literacy achievement (e.g., Nation & Snowling 2004; Catts et al. 2012).
