Combining teaching experience, research findings, and first-hand parenting stories, this compelling and practical resource distills everything you need to know for a thorough understanding of language and early literacy development. Following the introductory chapter, each chapter focuses on a component of language and early literacy including oral language development, listening comprehension, vocabulary development, phonological and phonemic awareness, alphabet knowledge and phonics instruction, handwriting and writing conventions, morphological awareness, digital literacy skills, and motivation for literacy. With an emphasis on the diversity of classrooms and types of learners, Promoting Language and Early Literacy Development is invaluable reading for parents and caregivers, early years teachers, learning support assistants, and nursery workers.

Dr. Pamela Beach is Associate Professor of Language and Literacy at the Faculty of Education at Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada. Pamela completed her M.A. in Child Study and Education and her Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology and Education at the University of Toronto. Her background as a parent and elementary teacher has influenced her research interests which focus on the dissemination of research-informed literacy practices.
