Storytelling in Early Childhood er heillandi bók sem kannar hinar mörgu víddir sagnalistar og leikrænnar tjáningar á sögum og sýnir hvernig þær auðga mál- og læsisnám ungra barna. Bókin setur sögur barnanna sjálfra í öndvegi í leikskóla og á yngsta stigi og færir rök fyrir því að sagnalist og söguleikur, kennslufræðileg nálgun sem Vivian Gussin Paley þróaði fyrst, skapi rík tækifæri til náms innan leikbundinnar og málörvandi námskrár.
Bókin fjallar meðal annars um hlutverk ímyndunarleiks og kvikt samband hans við frásögn, hvernig táknrænar athafnir í félagslegu samhengi auðga tilfinningalegan, hugrænan og félagslegan þroska barna, hvernig samtvinnaðir starfshættir sagnalistar og leikrænnar tjáningar efla mál- og læsisnám og stuðla að skólamenningu án aðgreiningar, og þær áskoranir sem kennarar mæta þegar þeir samræma skilning sinn á læsi og námi barna við þrönga námskrá sem beinist að mælanlegum árangri.
Bókin er alþjóðleg í nálgun og byggir á nýjum rannsóknum, og hún færir fræðin fram með nýrri fræðilegri og hagnýtri greiningu á sagnalist og söguleik frá ólíkum fræðigreinum. Hún er áhrifamikil lesning öllum þeim sem hafa áhuga á námskrá Paley og þeim kennurum og nemendum sem láta sig læsi og málnám ungra barna varða.
Storytelling in Early Childhood is a captivating book which explores the multiple dimensions of storytelling and story acting and shows how they enrich language and literacy learning in the early years. Foregrounding the power of children’s own stories in the early and primary years, it provides evidence that storytelling and story acting, a pedagogic approach first developed by Vivian Gussin Paley, affords rich opportunities to foster learning within a play-based and language-rich curriculum.
The book explores a number of themes and topics, including: the role of imaginary play and its dynamic relationship to narrative; how socially situated symbolic actions enrich the emotional, cognitive and social development of children; how the interrelated practices of storytelling and dramatisation enhance language and literacy learning, and contribute to an inclusive classroom culture; the challenges practitioners face in aligning their understanding of child literacy and learning with a narrow, mandated curriculum which focuses on measurable outcomes.
Driven by an international approach and based on new empirical studies, this volume further advances the field, offering new theoretical and practical analyses of storytelling and story acting from complementary disciplinary perspectives. This book is a potent and engaging read for anyone intrigued by Paley’s storytelling and story acting curriculum, as well as those practitioners and students with a vested interest in early years literacy and language learning.
