Suggested Readings in Each of the Main Areas of Literacy Instruction
In an initial journal entry and past discussions, we identified that full literacy development required the parallel development of skills in the following areas:
- Robust development of oral language in language-rich and literacy-rich environments;
- Clear, systematic and intensive development of phonemic awareness;
- Further systematic and progressive development of alphabetic skills, including phonics, spelling and morphology;
- Wide ranging support of vocabulary development from a very young age;
- Expert utilisation of read-alouds;
- Skilled orchestration of language experiences;
- Substantial time set aside for fluency practice (include time for independent reading);
- Attention to ultimate goal of reading instruction: comprehension; and
- Apprenticeship into the craft of composition; and
- Ongoing and deepening construction of knowledge (the real goal of learning).
In a subsequent entry, we identified research-based activities that were found to build competencies in each of the areaa. At the end of that entry, we mentioned that we would soon share a selection of readings (e.g. journal articles and books) which explore the instructional practices and principles in greater details. This entry fulfils this promise.
Below are readings categorised in the key areas. However, before that, we provide a handful of readings that emphasis some key overarching values: instruction need to be of high quality, comprehensive, orchestrated, intentional and collaborative.
