Invitations to Play

Using play to build literacy skills in young learners

Anne Burke,

About this book

Our youngest learners thrive when their learning environment is one that celebrates curiosity, exploration, and imagination. This comprehensive resource sets the stage for play-based learning that will help children build a strong literacy foundation, as well as successfully negotiate the choices they make in real life.

A perfect blend of theory and instruction, Invitations to Play offers background and strategies for you to explore all aspects of playful learning. It shows you how to

incorporate digital literacy — choose and use apps that will access children's imaginary worlds and promote creative collaboration
use music to develop sensory and collaborative learning — create music play centres that include making instruments from household items
build on student home languages and ideas — guide children into English knowledge through social and collaborative interactions
nurture multiple literacies — innovative ways to use play as scaffolding for later explorations in literacy

Invitations to Play gives new and experienced teachers a road map to involve and engage their young students in all forms of literacy learning.
