More Book Details

Description of the Book:

This report contains a summary of ideas presented at a series of meetings in 1990 on children’s literacy sponsored by the Ontario (Canada) Ministry of Education as well as a listing of specific proposal for future action. Named “Partnerships for Children’s Literacy,” the project focused on community partnerships that currently exist, or that could be formed, to support literacy development in young children. The first section of the report (“The Roots of Literacy”) discusses the way in which children acquire oral language and the circumstances that foster its development. The second section of the report contains a summary of the ideas put forward at all the meetings and a listing of the proposals made, organized on the basis of 5 major themes: (1) promoting literacy in the community; (2) bringing the school and the community together; (3) providing community support for children’s literacy; (4) coordinating literacy programs and initiatives; and (5) planning and implementing literacy programs.

The third section presents a 57-item annotated list that reflects the range of literacy activities in which participants at regional meetings were involved. (RS
