Early Childhood Experiences in Language Arts, 12th Edition eBook

Zimbalist/Machado’s EARLY CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES IN LANGUAGE ARTS, 12th edition, responds to national legislation, professional standards and public concern about the development of young children’s language and foundational literacy skills by providing current research-based instructional strategies in early language development. Activities throughout emphasize the relationship among listening, speaking, reading, writing (print) and viewing in language arts areas. Theory is followed by how-to suggestions and examples of classic stories, poems, finger plays, games and more. Future teachers learn how to best interact with children to promote appropriate language development and how to create a print-rich classroom environment. In addition to improved integration of professional standards, the new edition includes an emphasis on diversity and inclusion and tips for adapting curricula.
