Drawing on the author’s 25 years in early childhood education,
Guiding Young Children: A Problem-Solving Approach
introduces future childcare providers and preschool teachers
to a child-centered philosophy of education and care. The
problem-solving approach encourages “kids to do what kids
do” as they learn to take responsibility for their words and
actions. Through real-life examples, sample dialogues, and
numerous photographs and posters, the problem-solving
approach is explained, stressing environment first, then
progressing to listening skills, negotiating, conflict resolution,
and setting limits.

Are you interested in phonics coverage as part of a
comprehensive reading program? Rather than treating phonics
as an end in itself, this brief text shows how phonics fits into
the overall process of a child learning to read. It helps students
understand how phonics can be integrated successfully into
an effective classroom reading program. While it includes a
wealth of suggestions for practical classroom applications,
the book has a solid research base so that students will
understand what they are doing and why they are doing it in
the classroom. The text includes information about all types
of phonics programs and the different approaches to teaching
phonics for reading and spelling.
