Gryphon House announces "Literacy for All Young Learners"As classrooms become increasingly diverse, teachers are challenged to instruct children with varying literacy levels, many of whom are English language learners (ELLs). "Literacy for All Young Learners" by Mary Renck Jalongo, PhD, offers 65 research-based strategies to support literacy learning with children from preschool through third grade. All strategies are tied to the Common Core State Standards for kindergarten through third grade and offer solutions based on Jalongo's research and personal experience. Gryphon House, Inc., the leading publisher of educational resources for teachers, will release the book in September. Jalongo is an internationally respected educator and advocate for literacy in early childhood education. Much of her experience has focused on English language learners and bridging the communication gap between ELLs and their teachers-a background she brings to her writing. "Children whose first language is not English-and their teachers-have been a significant part of my professional career," Jalongo said. "This book has given me the opportunity to synthesize what I've learned not only from personal experience, but also from research." "Literacy for All Young Learners" includes recommendations for hundreds of great children's books, websites and digital applications to make teaching easier. Online resources, including bonus activities and letters home in English and Spanish, will be available at http://bit.ly/1KkHGXW. Educators may preorder books (ISBN 978-0-87659-568-8, 272 pp., $29.95) here. For a free excerpt or e-galley copy, please email [email protected].
