Learning to be Literate: The Development of Spoken and Written Language
The second edition of this successful book describes and explainsthe development of children's spoken and written language. Drawingon both classical and recent research studies, the processeswhereby literacy is achieved during the period from infancy toabout 8 years of age are traced. The authors emphasize theimportance of early experiences with language in relation to laterdevelopments of literacy, highlighting the connections betweenlearning to talk and learning to read and write.Garton and Pratt argue that the social contexts within whichtalking, reading and writing are learned are essential for thedevelopment of literacy. Theoretical positions and research studiesthat support the argument are discussed, to provide a broadcontextual framework. Early chapters describe the processes ofspoken language development and the theoretical explanations putforward to account for them. Subsequent chapters discuss thedevelopment of reading and writing, as well as theoreticalconnections between spoken and written language development.
