Cultivating Visual and Print Literacy with Picture Books by Catherine Read Pdf
Picture books are one of the most popular forms of books among young children. They provide hours of enjoyment, excitement, anticipation and relaxation through the stories and images readily available to young, soon-to-be readers. The artworks in picture books can provide a very rich experience to young students that are beneficial onmultiple dimensions. As students learn to question, scrutinize, decode symbols, problem-solve, and communicate their ideas, they engage in both visual and print literacy practice. This thesis focuses primarily on visual literacy as it relates to print literacy development. I will argue that as students practice visual literacy they also develop a basis for print literacy and build a solid foundation for further reading development. The development of visual literacy cannot be quantified, nor can one remove all visual aspects from one's life in order to scientifically study its effects. Therefore, because of the nature of visual literacy, this paper focuses on the overlapping relationships that exist between visual literacy and print literacy development. Many of the overlaps include processes that are challenging to pinpoint and define such as knowledge, understanding and language. This results in a philosophical and theoretical discussion concerning the development of a literacy foundation based on communication, comprehension, coding, motivation, experience, reading strategies and transfer. This paper concludes with a critical analysis of current approaches to teaching visual literacy as it relates to print literacy development in today's classrooms. Strategies for teachers are provided, from choosing picture books and illustrations, to structuring the discussions and engaging the students. A suggested approach is also provided, along with a sample plan and discussion questions for teachers of primary students to use and adapt to suit their own classroom needs.

Literacy Development in the Early Years: Helping Children Read and Write by Lesley Mandel Morrow Pdf
An integrated language arts approach to literacy development that brings early childhood perspectives on how children learn in pre-kindergarten though grade three, together with explicit teaching of literacy skills and strategies teachers need to make it all work. Pre-service and in-service teachers get a wealth of valuable information for making children active participants in the process of literacy development with this integrated approach to language arts. The book encourages teaching reading, writing, listening, thinking, and viewing at the same time, using each skill to develop the others, and discusses both constructivist problem-solving teaching and more explicit systematic instruction. Through both theoretical and research-based rationales, plus extensive practical applications, renowned author Lesley Mandel Morrow presents literacy development as an active process between children and adults to create meaning and real purpose–and helps pre- and in-service teachers grasp the scope and complexity of early literacy development. This comprehensive, balanced approach to literacy teaching and learning covers oral language development, word study, phonological awareness, phonics, comprehension, listening and writing. The reader is provided with a complete picture of early literacy development.

Play and Literacy in Early Childhood by Kathleen A. Roskos Pdf
This volume brings together studies, research syntheses, and critical commentaries that examine play-literacy relationships from cognitive, ecological, and cultural perspectives. The cognitive view focuses on mental processes that appear to link play and literacy activities; the ecological stance examines opportunities to engage in literacy-related play in specific environments; and the social-cultural position stresses the interface between the literacy and play cultures of home, community, and the school. Examining play from these diverse perspectives provides a multidimensional view that deepens understanding and opens up new avenues for research and educational practice. Each set of chapters is followed by a critical review by a distinguished play scholar. These commentaries' focus is to hold research on play and literacy up to scrutiny in terms of scientific significance, methodology, and utility for practice. A Foreword by Margaret Meek situates these studies in the context of current trends in literacy learning and instruction. Earlier studies on the role of play in early literacy acquisition provided considerable information about the types of reading and writing activities that children engage in during play and how this literacy play is affected by variables such as props, peers, and adults. However, they did not deal extensively, as this book does, with the functional significance of play in the literacy development of individual children. This volume pushes the study of play and literacy into new areas. It is indispensable reading for researchers and graduate students in the fields of early childhood education and early literacy development.
