Shelby Anne Wolf

As parent, reading partner, and social science observer, Shelby Wolf documented countless moments during the preschool and early grade-school years of her two daughters. The Braid of Literature interweaves her careful observations and analysis with Shirley Brice Heath's insightful commentary, drawing on current research in anthropology, linguistics, and cognitive psychology. Together, they have produced an unusual study of two young children who are learning to negotiate between the multiple texts of their everyday lives and their make-believe story worlds. For researchers, this book will serve as a rich resource on a range of interdisciplinary topics. For parents and teachers, it is dramatic confirmation of the important role that literary language can play in children's literacy and socialization.

Children's Worlds of Reading

The Braid of Literature

Morag Styles

Evelyn Arizpe

Covers the history of reading and children's literature in the eighteenth century. Drawing upon the Jane Johnson (1706-1759) archives in the Bodleian Library, Oxford and the Lilly Library, University of Indiana, it is able to document the typical reading practices of an upper middle class family in this period. More particularly, it draws on these unique collections to throw light on a series of questions currently preoccupying scholars in the fields of the history of reading, the history of children's literature, and the history of women. At the same time, the human presence of Jane Johnson and her children gives this book a wide appeal to non-specialist readers through its thorough use of the Johnson archives.

The Handbook of Research on Teaching Literacy Through the Communicative and Visual Arts, Volume II brings together state-of-the-art research and practice on the evolving view of literacy as encompassing not only reading, writing, speaking, and listening, but also the multiple ways through which learners gain access to knowledge and skills. It forefronts as central to literacy education the visual, communicative, and performative arts, and the extent to which all of the technologies that have vastly expanded the meanings and uses of literacy originate and evolve through the skills and interests of the young.
