520 _aThe importance of literacy learning in the first years of school has long been recognised, but literacy experiences in the pre-school years have not always received sufficient attention. In Literacies in Early Childhood: Changing Views, Challenging Practice the authors redress this imbalance, with a focus spanning from birth to eight years. 'Literacy as social practice' is an overriding theme, and it is continually acknowledged that young children's understandings about literacy occur within their cultural and linguistic communities.
520 8 _aTopical and sometimes controversial issues include: the intersections between social identities such as gender, language, ethnicity, 'race', disability and class; the importance of partnerships between educators, families and communities in fostering literacy learning; the impact of visual, technological and commercial influences; the view that children are competent interpreters of their social worlds.
520 8 _aIn each chapter 'reflection and follow-up' sections reinforce the link between theory and practice, and examples of children's dialogue, artwork and writing highlight the literary messages conveyed. Readers will find this a compelling text, advocating a broad-minded approach to our observation and facilitation of children's literacy achievements.
