Making Sense of Learners Making Sense of Written Language
Ken and Yetta Goodman’s professional work has been a lifelong collaboration, informed by shared philosophical strands. An overarching goal has been to provide access for all children to literacy and learning and to inform and improve teaching and learning. Each also is recognized for specific areas of focus and is known for particular concepts. This volume brings together a thoughtfully crafted selection of their key writings, organized around five central themes: research and theory on the reading process and written language development; teaching; curriculum and evaluation; the role of language; advocacy and the political nature of schooling. In the World Library of Educationalists, international scholars themselves compile career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces – extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, major theoretical and/practical contributions – so the world can read them in a single manageable volume. Readers will be able to follow the themes and strands of their work and see their contribution to the development of a field, as well as the development of the field itself.
Kidwatching
This smart, practical guidebook shows preschool, kindergarten, and primary teachers how to refine their literacy evaluation practices through careful kidwatching. By observing and recording children's literacy development, teachers also develop new understandings of the ways children think and learn. Ultimately, through kidwatching, teachers plan curriculum and instruction that are tailored to individual strengths and needs. Gretchen Owocki and Yetta Goodman are the perfect pair to guide teachers through the kidwatching process. Yetta coined the term in her seminal article in 1978 and has spearheaded the use of miscue analysis as a window into the reading process. Gretchen, Yetta's former gr...
Notes from a Kidwatcher
This long-overdue anthology ranges from Yetta Goodman's first article, about her own daughter's early spelling, to her most recent, a previously unpublished piece about turn-of-the-century educator Lucy Sprague Mitchell and the lives of female educators in general. Goodman is widely known throughout North America for her work as a writer, researcher, teacher, and speaker, and her career and writing have reflected - indeed often spearheaded - the concerns of holistic educators for decades. Miscue analysis, print awareness, kidwatching, whole language: Yetta Goodman's name leaps to mind in connection with all of these topics, and they are all represented here.
