Engaging young children in literacy activities at home is one way for families to augment and enrich the home literacy setting
and to participate in their child’s education at an early age (St. Pierre et al. in Dev Psychol 41(6): 953–970, 2005). Burgess et al. (Read Res Quart 4(4): 408–426, 2002) suggested that the resources families have at their disposal, the quality of literacy role models provided by parents, and
the types of literacy and language activities in which parents and children engage, are all related to young children’s developing
literacy and language abilities. Other studies demonstrated that even modest literacy-promoting interventions can significantly
enhance a young child’s early literacy environment by increasing the frequency of parent–child book-sharing activities (Weitzman
et al. in Pediatrics 113(5):1248–1253, 2004). Dever (J Early Educ Fam Rev 8(4):17–28, 2001) and Dever and Burtis (Early Child Dev Care 172(4):359–370, 2002) emphasize the use of family literacy bags for early childhood development. Developing and sharing take-home literacy bags
is an exciting literacy-promoting activity that may be shared with children and families to provide support for emergent literacy.
This article explores the development of the BAGS (Books and Good Stuff) take-home literacy kits and provides suggestions
for content, construction, implementation, and evaluation. Sixteen current books are reviewed and recommended by theme. 相似文献

The period of early childhood sets the stage for how well children view themselves, each other, and their world. Shared positive emotional experiences between caregivers and children serve as building blocks for the development of social and emotional well-being in infants and toddlers. Incorporating the three principles of promotion, prevention, and intervention within a systems framework (child–parent–environment) will enable early childhood practitioners to foster the emotional health and well-being of all children and families, especially those individual children who are more vulnerable due to the presence of multiple risk factors. The primary intent of the authors of this paper is to discuss the importance of attending to the social and emotional well being of very young children as a primary focus of early learning and school success. 相似文献

Healthy social-emotional development is promoted by building a safe, secure and respectful environment in an early childhood setting with positive and consistent relationships among adults, children, and their peers. This study explored storytelling dramas as an opportunity to build community within the context of one early childhood classroom. The study was a qualitative, interpretive analysis of 20 videotaped storytelling drama sessions containing approximately 100 stories told by children in one preschool classroom over a 6-month period. Videotapes of the 20 storytelling sessions were analyzed for patterns and themes that may represent community building within the context of one preschool classroom. Qualitative methods were used to identify themes that emerged from the videotaped data. Triangulation across investigators, time, and methods enhanced trustworthiness of interpretations. Results showed that the storytelling drama activity provided opportunities to promote community building through four emerging themes: (1) individual roles, (2) group membership, (3) inclusion, and (4) relationship building. Storytelling dramas provide teachers with an easy to implement teaching strategy that builds community and aligns with current early childhood education quality standards and child development theory. 相似文献

In a retrospective study, we compared school performance of 53 children practicing music (group 1) with 67 controls not practicing
music (group 2). Overall average marks as well as average marks of all school subjects except sports were significantly higher
in children who do (group 1) than in those who do not practice music (group 2). In a multiple regression analysis, musical
training, parent’s income, and educational level (grades) correlated significantly with overall average marks. A slight decrease
of overall average marks over 4 years from grades 3 to 6 was found in the control group only. Musical training evidently correlates
with children’s better performance at school, but is obviously part of a multifactorial dependence. Continuous musical training
appears to help achieve and maintain school performance at a high level over time. 相似文献

Although many studies have been done on the benefits of parent/teacher‐child interactions during shared storybook reading or read‐aloud sessions, very few have examined the potential of professional storytellers' oral discourse to support children's vocabulary learning. In those storytelling sessions conducted by professional storytellers, the process of telling a story is typically not accompanied by a book, but only by the teller's well‐coordinated gestures, facial expressions and voice modulations. In this study, I perform a multimodal analysis of storytellers' oral discourse recorded during two storytelling sessions for four‐to‐five‐year‐old children. The study aims to (1) find out the specific types of vocal and visual features accompanying the spoken words which were unlikely to be known by the children but used by the storytellers for representations of events and characters, and (2) explore the potential of these multimodal features in oral storytelling to support children's inferring of word meanings. The study offers insights into multimodality in oral storytelling and implications for exploring the potential of multimodal features in this form of literacy practice to support children's vocabulary learning. 相似文献

This study investigated the effects of a family-centered intervention that involved parents in weekly assessments and daily routine activities for promoting young children’s language and behavior. Forty-one 3–5-year-old children at-risk for language and behavior problems, recruited from three developmental pre-schools, were randomly assigned to a control and an intervention group that received parent–professional support. Analyses of covariance (ANCOVAs) were used to examine whether groups differed on post-test scores on the Test of Early Language Development—Third Edition and Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory, using pre-test scores as a covariate. Results showed that children in the intervention group outperformed children in the control group on both tests. The study indicated that family-centered intervention is an effective method for empowering parents to identify and implement concrete solutions to their children’s problems, especially when done as part of a professional collaboration. 相似文献

Telling and dramatizing stories is an increasingly popular addition to the preschool curriculum, largely due to the attention
this activity has received through the writings of Vivian Paley (Bad guys don’t have birthdays: fantasy play at four. The
University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 1988; The boy who would be a helicopter: the uses of storytelling in the kindergarten. Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA,
1990; A child’s work: the importance of fantasy play. The University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 2004). While the writings of Paley and others (Cooper, When stories come to school: telling, writing, and performing stories in
the early childhood classroom. Teachers & Writers Collaborative, New York, 1993; Engel 1999) focus on the social and cognitive outcomes children experience as a result of storytelling, less has been written
about the process of writing and dramatizing stories with young children. This article discusses procedures and considerations
that enhance storytelling with preschool children, including effective prompts for encouraging children’s creativity, potential
trouble spots such as aggression in stories, and ways that storytelling can enhance home-school relationships. 相似文献

This paper presents findings on a hybrid guidance curriculum in Hong Kong, a place where East meets West in education and
in many other spheres. A qualitative case study method is applied that uses questions for understanding the ‘self’ in guidance
but incorporates Confucian cardinal human relationships of parent–child, brother–sister, husband–wife, superior–subordinate,
teacher–pupil and friend–friend in understanding the ‘other’ relationships. The study of ‘self–other relationship’ is combined
with Lawton’s (Social change, educational theory and curriculum planning, Hodder, London, 1973) model of curriculum development in Western traditions. Data obtained from stakeholders in schools include traditional Chinese
ideas as well as modern Western ideas. Implications of this framework to the study of other societies with a mix of Western
and traditional cultures are discussed.

This article explores the face-to-face interactions between parents and teachers in parent–teacher conferences in the Swedish
preschool. The article highlights how the preschool teacher introduces the conference by using a specific artifact, so-called
“strength cards” with words relating to characteristic behaviour and qualities. The theoretical framework is adopted from
research of institutional talk and discourse analysis. The empirical material consists of two cases included in a larger study
of parent–teacher conferences. The analysis reveals that the talk not only focuses on the assessment of the individual child
but also is directed at the cards, the procedure, and the importance of parents being active and involved in learning the
procedure. In addition, the cards are used by the teacher as a tool that governs parents towards becoming ‘good enough preschool
parents’ who are cooperative and able to categorise and label their own children, that is, follow the institutional discourse.
The analysis also shows that parents take control in order to overcome institutional barriers to parents’ involvement. 相似文献

The notion that parent involvement impacts student learning outcomes for children who are at risk for failing academically has been supported by prominent early childhood education experts. Recent attention has been given to specific ways parents can help increase student learning through their interactions with children as they complete home learning activities. It is important to note that the term parent is used interchangeably with the terms adult, guardian and family member. The term “at-risk reader” refers to readers who are at risk of failing school because of reading deficiencies. This report will examine whether parent training to increase parent–child interactions during the completion of second grade Interactive Homework Assignments (IHA) can facilitate increases in a student’s ability to draw inferences from reading selections, a skill closely aligned with proficiency in reading acquisition. The second grade level was chosen because these children were those whose teachers were concerned with preparing them to take the third grade SAT9. Third grade level was not selected because many of their professional development activities were prescribed due to their immediate concern with preparing students to take the SAT9. IHA, for the scope of this study, is homework designed to increase parent involvement and student achievement. The results indicate that specific parent training during a brief period of time, approximately four weeks, has the potential for improving academic performance for academically at-risk students. 相似文献

The present study examined the relations between home numeracy experiences (i.e., parent–child numeracy activities and parents’ numeracy expectations) and basic calculation skills (i.e., addition and subtraction) of children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) and their peers with Normal Language Achievement (NLA), while taking into account their cognitive and linguistic capacities. Fifty children with SLI and 100 children with NLA were tested on cognitive, linguistic, and basic calculation skills, and their parents filled in questionnaires on home numeracy activities and numeracy expectations. The results showed parents of children with SLI report engaging in fewer numeracy-related activities and have lower numeracy expectations for their children than parents of children with NLA. Furthermore, parent–child numeracy activities were more strongly associated with addition and subtraction for children with SLI. It is thus especially important that parents of children with SLI are made aware of their important role in the development of their child's basic calculation skills. 相似文献

In the interaction between the child and the adult, interest can be a significant motivational initiator of activities. Systematic
monitoring and development of the interest in music activities enables the teachers to influence the preschool children in
forming a positive attitude towards the art of music. The research involving preschool teachers, children at the age of five
to six and their parents, was conducted in order to determine the interest of preschool teachers and children in music activities.
We found that the teachers showed greatest interest in singing songs, playing instruments and listening to music. The children’s
favourite activities in kindergarten were movement to music (dancing), singing songs and playing on instruments, namely activities
where they could take active part in the educational process. The parents reported that at home the children preferred most
to listen to music, to sing songs and move to the sounds of music, and less to play on instruments and to be creative in music.
The development of the children’s interest in music depends on the teachers’ expression of interest in music activities, on
the choice of music activities and music contents and on the experience in the music environment of the family. 相似文献

This article illustrates some ways in which observations of typically-developing infants can inform music therapy and other
work with children with disabilities. The research project that is described examines typical infant development with special
attention to musical relatedness and communication. Videotapes of sessions centering on musical play with typically-developing
infants and of music therapy sessions of children with multiple severe disabilities are examined in light of developmental
issues, conceptual frameworks, and relationships between typical development and developmental issues of children with disabilities.
Greenspan’s model of psychosocial development is used as a basis for analyzing observations.
This research was conducted over a period of several years. Portions of what is reported here were presented at the European
Music Therapy Congress, Naples, Italy (Wheeler and Stultz 2001) and the 10th World Congress of Music Therapy, Oxford, UK (Wheeler and Stultz 2002). Thanks to Elizabeth Rightmyer for very helpful feedback on the article. 相似文献

Why Do Cocks Crow? Children’s Concepts About Birds 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Research into children’s ideas showed that children’s interpretations of natural phenomena often differ from those of scientists.
The aim of our study was to identify children’s ideas of various age classes (7/8–14/15) about birds. A questionnaire with
31 multiple choice and open ended questions and eight photographs were administered to 495 children from 10 elementary schools
in Slovakia. Children’s ideas were examined in six dimensions (bird classification, food, senses, communication, migration
and breeding including parental care). We found several misconceptions, some of them with both anthropomorphical and teleological
reasoning of the children about birds within each dimension. In general, misconceptions were more frequently found in younger
children, but several misconceptions were similarly distributed across all age classes. 相似文献

Introduction: Multi-sensory storytelling (MSST) is a storytelling method designed for individuals with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD). It is essential that listeners be alert during MSST, so that they become familiar with their personalised stories. Repetition and the presentation of stimuli are likely to affect the alertness of listeners during MSST. Previous studies have only examined the overall level of alertness during MSST. This study focuses on changes in alertness over time during storytelling. Method: In this study, 27 direct support people read an MSST book 20 times with a person with PIMD. The 1st, 5th, 10th and 20th storytelling sessions were recorded. The relation between alertness and the active presentation of stimuli is analyzed using a time-window sequential analysis. We examined changes in alertness levels by comparing the four different storytelling sessions. Results: Higher levels of active alertness were observed when stimuli were actively presented. Alertness was not constant within storytelling sessions, and was related to the presentation of stimuli. Actively presented stimuli were associated with larger fluctuations in alertness. Discussion: Storytellers should present stimuli actively and for longer periods, in order to increase the alertness of listeners during storytelling. 相似文献
