Book excerpt: This handbook offers a guide to identifying curriculum activities which will enable the observation of significant literacy behaviors, recording these observations, and assessing and reporting student development in literacy. The handbook presents carefully considered descriptions of literacy learning behaviors noted by teachers in a wide variety of schools, and descriptions of classroom contexts in which these behaviors are commonly observable. The literacy profiles discussed in the handbook help the principal and staff develop a systematic and consistent approach to the assessment and reporting practices within schools; offer a recording instrument which can be used from year to year, enabling cumulative reporting on student progress which can assist communication with parents and others in the school community; and can also be used to facilitate student transition from one school to another. Sections of the handbook are: (1) "About Literacy Profiles"; (2) "The Reading and Writing Bands"; and (3) "Literacy Profiles in Use." Discussion of the reading and writing bands, classroom tasks and contexts for observing reading and writing, and a list of participating schools are attached. (RS)

Beginning to Read reconciles the debate that has divided theorists for decades over the "right" way to help children learn to read. Drawing on a rich array of research on the nature and development of reading proficiency, Adams shows educators that they need not remain trapped in the phonics versus teaching-for-meaning dilemma. She proposes that phonics can work together with the whole language approach to teaching reading and provides an integrated treatment of the knowledge and process involved in skillful reading, the issues surrounding their acquisition, and the implications for reading instruction.

Book excerpt: The Routledge International Handbook of Early Literacy Education offers a pioneering overview of early literacy provision in different parts of the world and brings together interdisciplinary research evidence on effective literacy teaching to inform current and future practice and policy of early literacy.

All chapters promote discussion, critical analysis and questions for reflection and are written in jargon-free language in an easy-to use themed format. This handbook is an indispensable reference guide for practising teachers and student teachers, especially those undertaking postgraduate qualifications, as well as early literacy researchers, policy-makers and school-based literacy leaders.
