New book shows how reading aloud can become learning in preschool
How can reading aloud contribute to children's language development and learning? In the new book From Reading Aloud to Learning: Focusing on Children's Multimodal Communication, researchers and practicing preschool teachers describe how children's literature can be used as a resource in preschool teaching.
The book is based on practice-oriented research and shows how reading aloud can inspire conversation, play, creativity, digital exploration, and other forms of expression. One of the authors is Petra Petersen, a researcher at the Department of Child and Youth Studies, Stockholm University.
"From Reading Aloud to Learning" is mainly aimed at students in the preschool teacher program and preschool staff. It´s in Swedish.
