Through close attention to the variety of objects which children constantly produce (drawings, cuttings-out, 'writings' and collages), Kress suggests a set of principles which reveal the underlying coherence of children's actions; actions which allow us to connect them with attempts to make meaning before they acquire language and writing.This book provides fundamental challenges to commonly held assumptions about both language and literacy, thought and actiLanguage arts (Elementary)Reading (Elementary)English languageComposition and exercisesStudy and teaching (Elementary)LiteracyChildrenLanguageLanguage arts (Elementary)Reading (Elementary)English languageComposition and exercisesStudy and teaching (Elementary)Literacy.ChildrenLanguage.372.6Kress Gunther R.156068FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910829030003321Before writing3918332UNINA
