Item description from seller

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -One key measure of a country's status in the world is the literacy of its people; at the same time, global migration has led to increased interest in bilingualism and foreign language learning as topics of research. Literacy Development and Enhancement Across Orthographies and Cultures reviews international studies of the role of literacy in child development, particularly how children learn their first written language and acquire a second written and spoken one. Comparisons and contrasts are analyzed across eight countries and 11 languages, including English, Spanish, Mandarin, Hebrew, Dutch, and Catalan.Using qualitative and quantitative, established and experimental methods, contributors trace toddlers' development of print awareness, clear up common myths regarding parental involvement and non-involvement in their children's literacy, and suggest how the spelling of words can aid in the gaining of vocabulary. For added relevance to educators, the book includes chapters on early intervention for reading problems and the impact of pedagogical science on teaching literacy. Highlights of the coverage:Letter name knowledge in early spelling developmentEarly informal literacy experiencesEnvironmental factors promoting literacy at homeReading books to young children: what it does-and doesn't doThe role of orthography in literacy acquisition among monolingual and bilingual childrenGaining literacy in a foreign languageInstructional influences on literacy growthLiteracy Development and Enhancement Across Orthographies and Cultures adds significant depth and interest to the knowledge base and should inspire contributions from additional languages and orthographies. It belongs in the libraries ofresearchers and educators involved in cognitive psychology, language education, early childhood education and linguistics. 230 pp. Englisch.…
