Making Sense of Learners Making Sense of Written Language Summary

Making Sense of Learners Making Sense of Written Language: The Selected Works of Kenneth S. Goodman and Yetta M. Goodman by Kenneth S. Goodman (University of Arizona, USA)

Ken and Yetta Goodman's professional work has been a lifelong collaboration, informed by shared philosophical strands. An overarching goal has been to provide access for all children to literacy and learning and to inform and improve teaching and learning. Each also is recognized for specific areas of focus and is known for particular concepts. This volume brings together a thoughtfully crafted selection of their key writings, organized around five central themes: research and theory on the reading process and written language development; teaching; curriculum and evaluation; the role of language; advocacy and the political nature of schooling.

In the World Library of Educationalists, international scholars themselves compile career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces - extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, major theoretical and/practical contributions - so the world can read them in a single manageable volume. Readers will be able to follow the themes and strands of their work and see their contribution to the development of a field, as well as the development of the field itself.

Making Sense of Learners Making Sense of Written Language Reviews

This text should be required reading in all graduate level foundations of literacy instruction courses. As literacy educators learn about the great debates in reading, it is so important to learn how the whole language movement began. This text helps readers to understand how whole language was formed and the disciplines it borrows from to create a richer understanding of literacy as a whole. - Tiffany A. Flowers, Georgia Perimeter College, Education Review, January 2016
