Description: This book offers preschool teachers, kindergarten teachers, daycare workers, and parents a natural way to help young children begin to read and write: placing stories at the very center of the early childhood curriculum. When Stories Come to School includes an in-depth discussion of the crucial pedagogical and developmental roles that stories can play in early childhood education, as well as a practical guide to having children tell their own stories and perform them with their classmates. Cooper also discusses the uses and misuses of Whole Language, Invented Spelling, and the Writing Process.
