Early Childhood Education Series

This is a book for all who are

committed to improving early
care and education from the
ground up. It is not just for those
who already call themselves
advocates, but is especially for
teachers who may be encouraged
through these pages to engage,
question, reflect, and act,
patiently taking small steps with
the resources and support that
Beatrice Fennimore clearly offers.
This is a book that informs us
about advocacy on many levels,
and, most importantly, it invites
and inspires us to stand up and
act.
From the Foreword by
Celia Genishi, professor
emerita, Teachers College,
Columbia University

Standing Up for Something Every

Day is a timely and artfully written book that provides pre- and
inservice early childhood teachers
with a practical guide to creating

lays out concrete examples of
how to get to our feet.

Early Childhood Education Series

Hyson and Tomlinson do not

simply provide a straightforward
and comprehensive view of early
childhood education; they humanize it through the experiences
of children, families, and early
childhood professionals. They
leave the reader with a clear
understanding of the myriad of
ways in which high-quality early
childhood education programs
matter in the early years, and
they matter a lot.
From the Foreword by
Jacqueline Jones, former
Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Policy and Early Learning,
U.S. Department of Education

One small volumea lot that

matters! Starting with a mountain
of cutting edge material, Hyson
and Tomlinson have made
excellent choices about what
information to highlight and
how. As a result, The Early Years
Matter is compelling reading for
newcomers to the field, as well as
for seasoned professionals. It is
a book that everyone who cares
about future generations should
read, think about, and then read
again.
Marjorie Kostelnik, dean,
College of Education and
Human Sciences, University
of Nebraska, Lincoln

An extraordinary resource for practitioners,

policymakers, and scholars in early childhood
development, both in the U.S. and around the
world.
Hirokazu Yoshikawa, university professor,
Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and
Human Development, New York University

This accessible and engaging work introduces

current and future teachers, child care providers, and others interested in early childhood
education to the importance of the early years in
childrens well-being and success. It summarizes
the research on the value of high-quality services
for young children, families, and society, showing
why early education matters both today and into
the future. Emphasizing the need to understand
and respect young childrens strengths and unique
characteristics, the authors offer inspiration for
working in the field, as well as addressing the realistic challenges of implementing developmentally
appropriate care and education.
Each chapter begins with an introductory vignette
focused on one child whose experiences are
typical of other children in the same age group or
life circumstances, using that childs experiences
to draw out what the best research tells us about
why early care and education matters for that
group of children. The book also features firstperson narratives by early childhood professionals
working in a range of positions who offer insight
into the complexity and joys of working with or on
behalf of young children. Suggestions for further
reading and concluding questions for reflection,
dialogue, and action make The Early Years Matter
a perfect resource for courses and professional
development.

for children enhance or diminish educational experiences,
how social constructs about what is good for children
influence environmental design, and what practitioners

from practice, lessons learned, and images of key aspects

ReWRITING the Basics

in-depth understanding of childrens liveshonoring childrens experiences and
engaging them in a whole new way.Young Children
Anne Haas Dyson shows how highly scripted writing curricula and regimented class
routines work against young childrens natural social learning processes. Readers will
have a front-row seat in Mrs. Bees kindergarten and Mrs. Kays 1st-grade class, where
these dedicated teachers taught writing basics in schools serving predominately
low-income children of color. This book goes beyond critiquing traditional writing basics to place them in
the linguistic diversity and multimodal texts of childrens everyday worlds. The text includes examples of
childrens writing, reflections on research methods, and demographic tables.

Unpacking Histories,

Foreword by

If we wish to create an enlightened citizenry, critical literacy

needs to begin on the very first day of the first year of
schooling.Jerome C. Harste, Indiana University
Kuby argues that it is not enough for teachers to
implement curricula and pedagogical strategies
designed to foster inclusiveness. Instead, teachers
must look inward, questioning their personal histories, biases, and beliefs in order to develop better
self-awareness. In this book, Kuby reflects on how
her self-interrogation shaped her interactions with
5- and 6-year-olds and influenced her critical literacy teaching.

Inclusion in the
Early Childhood
Classroom

What Makes a
Difference?

Susan L. Recchia and

Yoon-Joo Lee

Shows how early childhood

contexts can be designed so
that diversity is an expected,
naturally occurring element.
Susan M. Benner, University of Tennessee
Includes classroom stories of children with various
special needs, along with examples of some effective and some not-so-effective teacher responses.
Doris Bergen, Miami University
The authors share stories from their practice
and research to explore the ways that teachers
and children respond in real classrooms to real
challenges. The book addresses a wide array of
issues that contribute to our understanding of
what makes a difference in the inclusive early
childhood classroom: the role of development,
ways of honoring different learning styles, building a sense of classroom community, addressing
power dynamics, and responding to conflict
with both teachers and peers.

Dana Frantz Bentley

Foreword by Judith M. Burton

This short book has much

to offer, as Bentley considers art a way of thinking,
not a separate part of the
curriculum
Choice
Case history examples throughout make for an
outstanding and alternative survey no art teacher
should be without.
The Midwest Book Review

In Everyday Artists, the author addresses the

disconnect that exists between the teaching
of art and the way young children actually
experience art. A practicing teacher herself,
Bentley uses vignettes of childrens everyday
activitiesfrom block building to clean-up to
outdoor playto help teachers identify and
scaffold the genuine artistic practice of young
children. The text includes teaching strategies
for extending childrens thinking and learning
and ideas for teachers who feel they do not
know how to do art.

Literacy Playshop

New Literacies, Popular

Media, and Play in the
Early Childhood Classroom
Karen E. Wohlwend

Not since Vygotsky have we

had a stronger advocate for
play than Karen Wohlwend.
Literacy Playshop demonstrates how technology, popular culture, and critical literacy might be woven
seamlessly into the early childhood curriculum.
Jerome C. Harste, Indiana University
Building on her award-winning research
(featured in Playing Their Way into Literacies),
Wohlwend has developed a curricular framework for children ages 3 to 8. The Literacy
Playshop curriculum engages children in creating their own multimedia productions, positioning them as media makers rather than passive
recipients of media messages. The text includes
professional development and classroom activities, discussion questions, and technology tryit sections. This user-friendly book will inspire
and support teachers in designing their own
Literacy Playshops.

Foreword by Yvette Jackson

From his vantage point as a pioneer in cognitive

theory and practice, Reuven Feuerstein provides
this text for guiding the language development of
children and youth who most need assistance.
Donna Wilson, educational and school
psychologist

Based on neuroscience and their own innovative

work, the authors provide the rationale and a stepby-step process for using intentional self-talk and
think-aloud methods to improve both language and
cognitive development in normal and languagedelayed children, as well as in older individuals
with disabilities. Stories are sprinkled throughout
the text to demonstrate mediated self-talk in
action and the remarkable results achieved with
real children.
