The Emergence of Literacy (UKRA teaching of reading series)

Hall, Nigel

Hodder Education

For several hundred years critics have been complaining about standards of punctuation. Despite this concern, how people learn to understand punctuation is one of the most neglected topics in the field of literacy. Although there are numerous handbooks detailing the rules of the punctuation system, there have been very few studies about how punctuation is understood by learners. This timely book is the first ever to address the issues associated with how people, and especially children, make sense of punctuation. The first chapter offers a detailed overview of some of the major issues. In Chapters 2, 3 and 4 the authors offer accounts of how children develop understanding of punctuation. Chapter 5 deals with teachers' experiences of, attitudes towards, and beliefs about the teaching and learning of punctuation. Chapter 6 contains a detailed analysis of one lesson in which punctuation was the main feature and explores its consequences for the children's use of punctuation in their writing. In Chapter 7 the author examines how a deaf child learned to punctuate and raises important issues about the relationship between oral language and punctuation. Chapter 8 contains a rare account of how young children use punctuation when reading. Finally, Chapter 9 offers an account of the problems of adult basic writers; difficulties which have a strong relationship with those faced by young writers.

Keeping in Touch draws on the editors' many years of experience in introducing interactive writing to teachers and students.

Interactive writing provides children with enjoyable reasons for authorship and aids their transition from oral to written communication.

KEEPING IN TOUCH: USING INTERACTIVE WRITING WITH YOUNG CHILDREN

Good teachers are always looking for ways to help beginning readers and writers to understand what literacy is, how it works, who uses it, and what it is used for. Children who understand the nature and purpose of literacy are going to find learning to read and write a more satisfying, engaging and purposeful activity. One very rich source of ideas about literacy is those books, postcards and posters which feature illustrations of people engaging in the activity of reading and writing. In this book, the authors have gathered together information abourt such images, examined the nature of the demonstrations within them and considered a large range of ideas for developing activities based on the messages in the images. This fully illustrated book is a very practical aid to teachers of three- to eight-year-old children who want to extend their pupils' knowledge about the nature of reading and writing.
