From her lifelong study of childrens development and learning, Marie Clay traces childrens paths of progress in literacy learning. Acclaimed a classic since its first publication, Becoming Literate: The Construction of Inner Control is essential reading for teachers and educators committed to enabling all children to become literate.Effective teachers have a sense of the changes to expect as children begin to engage with early literacy instruction. Becoming Literate provides a rich description of those progressions. But Marie Clay does not prescribe instructional methods or sequences. She urges teachers to base their teaching decisions on careful observation of childrens reading and writing behaviours, while questioning accounts that conflict with the patterns of responding that they observe.The information and understandings in this book provide guidance for delivering powerful literacy learning experiences for all children in the early years of formal instruction, from their first days of school to the relative independence of their third year.Key chapter content includes: language and literacy learning before school the transition to formal schooling and engagement with classroom programmes ways in which existing oral language competencies and knowledge of the world become linked with childrens developing awareness of print the constraints and opportunities provided by different instructional approaches the development of processing activities such as selfmonitoring, searching, and selfcorrecting.A picture emerges of how competent young children construct selfextending systems of literacy expertise. Successful literacy learners call up a range of ways of working with the information in texts and become able to learn more from their own efforts to read and write text.Finally, aware that some children for a variety of reasons do not construct an inner control of literacy processing in their initial encounters with formal instruction, Marie Clay argues that these children need extra resources and effective early intervention in order to build a sound foundation for further education.
