The Selected Works of Kenneth S. Goodman and Yetta M. Goodman
About This Book
Ken and Yetta Goodman's professional work has been a lifelong collaboration, informed by shared philosophical strands. An overarching goal has been to provide access for all children to literacy and learning and to inform and improve teaching and learning. Each also is recognized for specific areas of focus and is known for particular concepts. This volume brings together a thoughtfully crafted selection of their key writings, organized around five central themes: research and theory on the reading process and written language development; teaching; curriculum and evaluation; the role of language; advocacy and the political nature of schooling.
In the World Library of Educationalists, international scholars themselves compile career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces â extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, major theoretical and/practical contributions â so the world can read them in a single manageable volume. Readers will be able to follow the themes and strands of their work and see their contribution to the development of a field, as well as the development of the field itself.
