For courses in Language Development in Early Childhood Education and Emergent Literacy.

Theory, research, and intentional developmentally appropriate practice for understanding language development from birth to Grade 3.

Language Development in Early Childhood Education helps future early childhood educators support children's language development from birth through age 8. The text presents a compelling, comprehensive view of key linguistic concepts, language development theory, and research while remaining focused on the development of phonological, semantic, syntactic, morphemic, and pragmatic language skills, children's understanding of written language, and ways in which this acquisition process can be enhanced in early childhood settings. Interesting vignettes/scenarios of young children's language development open each chapter, and within each chapter anecdotal narratives illustrate key concepts and interaction strategies. The text has been updated and expanded throughout.
