Reviews

In this book, Mary Shea subtly weaves the language arts into a whole and beautiful tapestry, sensitively guiding both new and experienced educators toward a meaningful practice, rooted in research. Substantiating this developmental framework are hundreds of artifacts, capturing the work and play of children as they enter the world of drawing and writing. This book honors all those wonderful teachable moments that scaffold students and transform them into lovers of language, making both teaching and learning an exciting adventure. --Ardith Davis Cole, Ph. D., Literacy Consultant, and Author<STRIKE> </STRIKE> Parallel Learning of Reading and Writing in Early Childhood engages early childhood education teachers to struggle against perceiving the process of becoming literate as an edifice that is best taught in isolation from all other aspects of what it means to be literate. --Sharon Matthews, Assistant Professor, Department of Teacher Education, Shippensburg University
