Language Building Blocks is an accessible resource
that familiarizes early childhood professionals
with linguistics, the scientific study of language.
Knowledge of linguistics will enable early
childhood educators to successfully teach
young children core competencies, ranging from
phonemic awareness, reading and math, to
health literacy and intercultural awareness. The
text includes numerous real-life examples for
diverse age groups and learning styles. The online
Resource Guide for Language Building Blocks
provides hands-on activities and contributions
by top scholars in the field. This resource shows
teachers how to systematically empower and
include all children.
This teacher-friendly book:
• Provides an enhanced understanding
of language and language acquisition,
minimizing misdiagnoses of special needs.
• Makes language come alive for children and
educators preparing for the Praxis Test.
• Demonstrates that children develop key skills
when they can (dis)assemble language.
• Highlights approaches Dr. Seuss used to
make reading fun for young readers.
• Offers innovative language and literacy
observation and enhancement strategies,
including multilingual math and literacy,
language exploration, and play.
• Illustrates the value of observation,
collaboration, and inquiry in early learning.

“This book creates a bridge
between the dualistic world of
law, where solutions to problems
are either right or wrong, just or
unjust, legal or illegal, and the
holistic and often paradoxical
world of early care and education.
The topics addressed are timely
and of great concern to early
childhood program administrators.
Managing Legal Risks in Early
Childhood Programs will empower
directors to solve thorny legal and
ethical problems in administering
early childhood programs.”

“Both parents and teachers will
find this book a valuable resource
for enriching the language development
of children, and it should
be particularly useful in assisting
those who have language delay,
difference, or disability.”
—Donna Wilson, educational and
school psychologist
“The authors present an application
of mediated learning experience
(MLE) to the development
of language in young children,
particularly those who experience
delays or deficiencies in receptive
and expressive skills.”
—Patricia Edwards, 2010–2011
president, International Reading
Association
While self-talk like “Now we are buckling you in the car seat
so we can go to the store” is common parental practice, this
book shows how teachers, parents, and therapists can take
this to higher levels to advance language cognitive development
and learning potential.
Based on neuroscience and their own innovative work, the
authors provide the rationale and a step-by-step process
for using intentional self-talk and think-aloud methods
to improve both language and cognitive development in
normal and language-delayed children. Stories are sprinkled
throughout the text to demonstrate mediated self-talk
in action and the remarkable results achieved with real
children.
With clear guidelines for delivery, content, and timing, the
crucial core of the process is to narrate thinking, action, and
emotion in the presence of children without requiring their
response.

Reading, Writing, and
Belonging in the Early

Karen E. Wohlwend
Foreword by Jackie Marsh
“A must read for anyone worried about what parents
and administrators will say about the infusion
of play in their curriculum.”
—Jerome C. Harste, Indiana University
Through a variety of theoretical lenses, the author
presents a portrait of literacy play that connects
three play groups: the girls and, importantly, boys,
who played with Disney Princess media; “Just
Guys” who used design and sports media to make
a boys-only space; and a group of children who
played teacher with big books and other school
texts.

Don’t Leave
the Story in the
Book
Using Literature to
Guide Inquiry in Early
Childhood Classrooms
Mary Hynes-Berry
Foreword by Jie-Qi Chen
“One of the book’s
strengths is the author’s
masterful description of core beliefs about teaching
and learning—beliefs that drive good practice
in early childhood classrooms.... Hynes-Berry
offers practical ideas for working with teachers and
students in professional learning communities in
preservice and in-service education and with families,
children and teachers in innovative community
literacy projects.” —Young Children
“Don’t Leave the Story in the Book is a boon to every
classroom teacher, for it brings such a wonder of
spontaneity and humor into one’s own thoughts
about books. Not only does Mary Hynes-Berry
legitimize the children’s sometimes off track questions,
but she gives teachers permission to indulge
their own curiosity and fanciful meanderings, just
see where they go.” —Vivian Gussey Paley
Drawing from 30 years of teaching and professional
development experience, the author offers a
roadmap for using children’s literature to provide
authentic learning. Each chapter includes a case
study about how a particular fiction or nonfiction
work can be used in an early childhood classroom;
a series of open-ended questions to help readers
construct their own inquiry units; and a bibliography
of children’s literature.
