This cognitive skill set, known as metalinguistic awareness, is an important component of reading ability. This practical guide scales activities and teaching suggestions to students' age, linguistic background, and individual strengths and challenges. The authors offer suggestions for introducing metalinguistic concepts like phonological, semantic, and syntactic awareness with fun activities like games, songs, rhymes, and riddles. The book also identifies and explains research that supports using metalinguistic teaching with diverse students and English learners to build skills in multiple areas, including reading comprehension and decoding ability. Teachers will find that students introduced to language play become continually engaged with language, finding real-world examples with wonder and delight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBook Features: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompiles information on all forms of metalinguistic awareness (MA), spanning different linguistic units and developmental reading levels. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains personal anecdotes and classroom-tested instructional recommendations for encouraging language play. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Presents research on how individual language skills affect reading ability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers suggestions for full lesson plans with small groups or whole classes of children, as well as ideas for infusing MA activities into everyday exchanges and book choices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcy Zipke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807765058\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807765050\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Teachers College Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/12\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Marcy Zipke","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48483711189247,"sku":"9780807765050","price":96.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_409b012e-fad8-4cd7-b630-faa8cf7809f2.jpg?v=1778040158","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/playing-with-language-marcy-zipke-9780807765050","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
