Going to Kindergarten: A Year With An Outstanding Teacher

Kindergarten is a unique year, a special opportunity in the lives of our children. However, in the last 20 years, the typical kindergarten curriculum has become more teacher-centered and it emphasizes kindergartners' academic development, sometimes at the neglect of their social and emotional development. This book presents a unique view of good teaching and learning in kindergarten so those children can thrive in its presence. The author, a teacher educator, shares his observations, often in the words of the teacher, Mrs. Poremba, and her students based on one year he spent in her classroom. Each of the ten chapters contains verbatim dialogue and rich description spanning from the first day of kindergarten to the last day of the school year. For anyone involved in decision making about early childhood education.

Taking professionals and students step by step through conceptualizing, planning, and implementing an effective early literacy program, this book focuses on preventing reading difficulties and promoting success in at-risk 3- to 5-year-olds. The authors draw on extensive research and many years of influential work in real classrooms. A comprehensive framework is delineated for helping young children construct meaning from different kinds of texts, develop key oral language skills, and learn concepts about print and the alphabet. Ideas for tailoring instruction to the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse learners are accompanied by clear assessment guidelines. The book also offers practical, how-to-do-it suggestions for setting up literacy activities and arranging the classroom environment. Concluding chapters bring the authors' approach to life with vivid depictions of a preschool and a kindergarten classroom in action. Two invaluable appendices provide additional useful resources: reproducible sheets for conducting literacy assessments and a primer on phonics for teachers.
