Description
Supporting Early Literacies Through Play by Kate Smith and Karen Vincent offers an innovative approach to examining literacies within the context of children's play. This book introduces students to contemporary theory and research in the field, exploring debates surrounding young children's play and how language and literacies are created through a range of play activities. By reflecting on how this knowledge can be applied in their future professional lives, early childhood educators can enhance their literacy practices with young children. The book advocates for young children's play and diverse literacies, supporting students to develop a depth of knowledge about how play can extend children's literacies.
