Fred Sedgwick's new book discusses the literacy of children in the infant years. He takes the view that the child is an active learner when she arrives in school, and that it is the school's job to build on what the child already knows.

Thinking About Literacy discusses the literacy of children in the infant years. The author takes the view that the child is an active learner when he/she arrives in school, and that it is the school's job to build on what the child already knows. The book addresses issues such as spelling, writing, and children talking and writing about moral matters. It has an optimistic view of the potential of children to surprise us with their language and emphasises that literacy is for life, not just for an hour.
