Overall, it is a terrific resource′ - Dinah Volk      Across the world, an increasing number of young children are learning to read in languages different from their mother tongue, and there is a clear need for a book which addresses the ways in which these children should be taught. Eve Gregory′s book is unique in doing so.      Building upon the ideas proposed in Making Sense of a New World, this second edition widens its scope, arguing for the limitations of policies designed for ′monolingual minds′ in favour of methodologies which put plurilingualism at the centre of literacy tuition.       This book offers a practical reading programme -- an ′Inside-Out′ (starting from experience) and ′Outside-In′ (starting from literature) approach to teaching which can be used with individuals, small groups and whole classes.  It uses current sociocultural theory, while drawing on examples of children from America, Australia, Britain, China, France, Singapore, South Africa and Thailand  who are engaged in learning to read nursery rhymes and songs, storybooks, letters, the Bible and the Qur′an as well as school texts, in languages they do not speak fluently.      Gregory argues that, in order for literacy tuition to be successful, reading must make sense -- children must feel part of a community of readers. There is no common method which they use to learn, but rather a shared aim to which they aspire: making sense of a new world through new words.      Eve Gregory is Professor of Language and Culture in Education at Goldsmiths, University of London.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49555637338385,"sku":"GOR005543844","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49663110807825,"sku":"GOR013732138","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50382432731409,"sku":"CIN1412928575G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52531791331601,"sku":"NLS9781412928571","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1412928575.jpg?v=1751209411"},{"product_id":"city-literacies-book-eve-gregory-9780415191166","title":"City Literacies","description":"City Literacies explores the lives and literacies of different generations of people living in two contrasting areas of London at the end of the 20th century: Spitalfields and the City.

It may not solve all the problems, but it will do more to help us understand them than any other book for teachers currently available′ - Times Education Supplement      How do young children go about learning to read in a new language? Is learning to read the same for monolinguals and emergent bilinguals? Or might the effort of simultaneously learning spoken and written English present special challenges for both child and teacher? These are some of the questions addressed in this book.      The author argues that talk, experience and reading in a second language are inextricably intertwined. Part One of the book sets reading within a Vygotskian framework, which stresses a powerful link between the interpersonal (social) and  the intrapersonal (mental or cognitive) aspects of learning. The author proposes an interactive model of reading within which emergent bilinguals have particular strengths and weaknesses as they call upon  different ′clues′ or cues. The author argues that a knowledge of the strategies used by these children is essential in ′scaffolding′ their learning.      Part Two outlines practical approaches to teaching reading in the multilingual classroom, home\/school reading programmes and recording children′s reading progress. Throughout, discussions with children and their families, and observations and taped interactions in classrooms provide insights into the wide variety of reading practices in which emergent bilinguals already take part as they enter the new world of school.      The book includes a glossary, list of books to use and lesson-plans. It will be essential reading for early years and primary teachers of bilingual children.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49632153043217,"sku":"GOR003926545","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1853962635.jpg?v=1750768295"},{"product_id":"city-literacies-book-eve-gregory-9780415191159","title":"City Literacies","description":"City Literacies explores the lives and literacies of different generations of people living in two contrasting areas of London at the end of the 20th century: Spitalfields and the City.

By drawing on the experiences of children aged 3 to 8 attending schools in Britain, Germany, Iceland, Australia and the USA, the authors of these eleven case studies provide insights into what it means for young children to enter a new language and culture in school. They look at the scope of out-of-school language and learning practices (the role of care givers, siblings and community language classes) and go on to look at the ways in which the teacher can act as mediator of a new language and culture in school. This book helps teachers develop culturally responsive teaching programmes based on an awareness of the knowledge children bring from home and the community. The book will be of interest to early years and primary school teachers working in multilingual classrooms and students.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52405453685009,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52405454209297,"sku":"NLS9781138064652","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781138064652.jpg?v=1758767006"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-eve-gregory.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
