Description
Thinking About Literacy explores how young children develop literacy skills during their infant years, grounded in the philosophy that each child arrives at school as an active learner with existing knowledge. This Routledge publication emphasises the school's role in building upon what children already know, addressing key areas including spelling, writing, and children's oral and written expression around moral matters. The book takes an optimistic approach to children's language potential, presenting literacy not as a limited classroom activity but as a lifelong skill. Written for educators, parents, and child development professionals, it provides practical insights into supporting emerging readers and writers while recognising that literacy development extends far beyond formal instruction.

Key Features

Addresses core literacy topics including spelling, writing, and children's discussions about moral matters through language.

Emphasises the importance of recognising children as active learners who bring existing knowledge to their education.
